0-8 but he was a front-running second of 11 at Bath (5.5f, good; beaten 3l) last month; however, he dropped away after showing early speed at Windsor (5f, good to firm; reported to have stopped quickly) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back.

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.
