A suspicion that 7f might suit him best but after starting slowly he did keep on over 1m at Newbury last time, albeit some 9l off the winner; the handicapper knows all about him.

Sole win came in a four-runner Ascot novice (7f, soft) as a 2yo and has only made the frame twice in 12 starts in handicaps, but soft ground does suit him well so any further rain would be a positive; mark continues to fall and a visor is given a go; interesting.
