Has won only once in 12 starts but is mostly consistent and was second in a Class 4 at Goodwood (1m6f) before a lesser effort at the same level at Sandown; his win was over a similar trip to this and he should be on the scene.

Much improved on his handicap debut when landing 12-runner event at Bath (1m2f) ten days ago; strong at the finish there so he looks to have more to offer with his stamina drawn out more; big shout despite taking a 4lb weights rise.
