Low-mileage 4yo who quickened to score in good style at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month, having settled better than on previous appearances; denied clear run and not discredited when fifth in Racing League event at Wolverhampton (9.4f) since; major player if this new trip suits.

2-6 and looked to win with more in hand than the margin would suggest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) this month; 6lb higher and now tackles a new surface, but his sire gets plenty of winners here and he remains unexposed; respected.

Ran respectably on turf last time; has done his winning on AW but has never defied a mark this high and chance partly depends on how well he responds to the application of a tongue-tie.
