Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank.

In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again.

Prevailed narrowly at Southwell (1m6f) in October for account-opening win; however, has failed to back up that form in two outings since, latest when a 40-1 shot over C&D; not solid.

A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims.

Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached.
