Both runs last year came in maidens here (7f, good), winning gamely by half a length on the second occasion; extra furlong shouldn't be a problem now making his handicap debut after seven months off and the market should be revealing; stable also runs Just A Gambler.

Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over.

Steadily progressive and having been gelded he did it nicely when making a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; 3lb rise doesn't look harsh now returned to turf and high on list from the rails draw.

Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb.
