Beaten less than a length into third in one start for Owen Burrows at Sandown (7f, good) last August and beaten a neck when sent off odds-on for his stable debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in December (a couple of winners have come out of that race); took a keen hold there and a solid chance of compensation if settling better.

Two wins (one on turf at Doncaster) and a second from his four starts for new stable last season, all in 7f handicaps; failed to settle last time, yet still challenged strongly in the final 1f and left the impression he remains capable of better.

Won a Lingfield maiden (7f, Polytrack) for Kevin Philippart De Foy early last year and defied an eight-month absence to make a successful stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; didn't back it up at Haydock (7f, good; took a keen hold) last month and needs to bounce back.

Runner-up in his first four starts over 5f-7f, but although only fifth of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) last time an awkward start and meeting a bit of trouble wouldn't have helped; shortlisted.

Four runs in novice and maiden company (5f-7f), finishing second on each occasion; this might prove his optimum trip and cheekpieces could spark extra now handicapping.

Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark.
