Not beaten far in a couple of sales races last autumn; not as good in two runs back, getting turned over at odds-on round Redcar before not seeing out 8.6f here early last month, and will need plenty more on this handicap debut.

Improved RPR each of first four starts (managed a 6f win at Newcastle) but progress has stalled; ran over 7f in last two outings; promising effort at Wolverhampton but weak in the betting and ran accordingly on turf debut at Musselburgh; bit to prove back sprinting; trainer also runs Caviar Cowboy.
