All six wins came on the AW when trained in Britain; standout run for this yard came on opening day of season when runner-up in 26-runner Curragh handicap (heavy), most recently didn't seem to get home over this trip at Gowran last month (soft); stamina concerns remain.

Looks a better horse on AW and he quickly put a low-key Newbury run behind him when finishing second of eight at Wolverhampton last month (8.5f); that form is working out well, despite the race being slowly run, and he did well to finish as close as he did as things panned out; C&D winner with plenty to recommend him.
