Made it third-time lucky when winning a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last September; 0-7 since but he's been knocking on the door recently and had to deal with with some serious traffic issues and a slipping saddle when runner-up at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; up 3lb but he looked unlucky last time and is a big player at this new trip.
