Won off this mark at Beverley (7f, good) last summer and finished second of 11 off it over C&D last October; needs to better his two efforts on turf since returning last month, though, and his record of 2-38 is another concern.

Battled well to cause 80-1 surprise in 7f Wolverhampton handicap in August and has since been placed in Catterick classified over this trip; subsequent defeat in soft-ground Class 5 handicap is not viewed harshly and he's more appealing than some of these.
