Displayed plenty of pace when third at Catterick (5f Class 6, soft) on penultimate start but couldn't back that up at Hamilton; easing in the weights but has not shown a great deal to enthuse about on AW (0-5 career).

3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say.
