0-7 but a drop to 5.7f at Bath (good; unraced on firmer) last time produced a front-running second of 11 off today's mark; admittedly beaten 3l but he was clear at one stage and this first attempt at 5f is interesting.

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.
