Has plenty of early speed and he comes here fit from the AW, winning at Wolverhampton in February and turning in two good efforts over 6f at Lingfield the last twice; return to 5f a positive and he's effective on good to soft; career-high mark but should give it a good go.

Twice placed at Ayr (6f, good) before running out the easy winner of a Ripon novice last August; made a promising return at Nottingham ten days ago when he couldn't quicken on soft ground and hung across the track in the final furlong; a sounder surface should suit and he's still capable of better at this trip but Nottingham wasn't the first time he's failed to keep a true line.
