Maiden (0-12); runner-up three times, including when chasing home Belvedere Bhoy at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) early last month; took a sharp backward step at Kelso subsequently, so it's tough to have confidence; added cheekpieces may eke out a fraction more.

0-8 over hurdles; has a very mixed record and is sometimes a clumsy jumper but made a bold bid from the front when third at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) two runs ago and can't be ruled out; tongue tied for first time.

Improved third in 2m1f Carlisle novice (soft) in February; well treated on that form but hasn't managed to reproduce it in two subsequent handicaps, although he probably pressed for home too far out when third back at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in refitted cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago; remains one who could click from a lowly mark.

Didn't see out his race when seventh on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft; Gonnino second); it's possible he needed that (off a two-month break) but, equally, stamina might have been a factor; 3lb lower and claimer ridden; not impossible.
