Only minor promise in a C&D bumper 13 months ago; off the track until reappearing with a creditable third over C&D three weeks ago (beaten 19l); repeat of that would see him in the shake-up but more will be needed to win.

Finished alone in three-runner maiden point on debut in March; promise on her rules debut when sixth, having raced freely, at Aintree in May; beaten at odds-on when second over C&D three weeks ago but it was still a run that brings him right into the reckoning today.
