0-11 but he's run some good races on the AW and was having his first run in a C&D handicap when only just failing to get up three weeks ago; back up 2lb but a first win surely can't be far away.

Nothing wrong with his C&D handicap second in March and his subsequent third here at a short price is best overlooked; open to a bit of improvement still and is one of those best placed to take advantage should Rockafeller Skank not fire.

Showed promise in two of his three qualifying runs including when a front-running fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 11-4 favourite) two weeks ago; now takes another step up in trip but he should have more to offer in nurseries and is bred to be better than this opening mark.
