Reliable 6yo who has continued in good heart since scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January and produced a career-best when back on the scoresheet at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month; failed to land a blow over C&D latest and has something to find with My Boy Christy, though he remains one for the shortlist in the context of the race.
