Won a C&D maiden just over a year ago and easily landed a Salisbury handicap (1m, good to firm) in July; shot up the weights as a result and could only manage fifth of seven at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in September, but shaped as though the return to this stiffer mile will suit; respected.

Lightly raced 3yo who has been tailed off on turf the last twice, either side of a wind op; has plenty to prove but the return to AW offers a glimmer of hope as he showed promise on Polytrack/Tapeta last year; blinkers go on.

Tailed off on two of his three starts so comes with risks attached but in between he was a promising third at Doncaster (7f, soft) and he'll be a strong contender if reproducing that form.
