In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise.

Became yet another winning recruit for the Mick Appleby stable when making all over the extended 1m here in July; the manner of that success (just held on having raced keenly) suggests he could prove at least as effective over this shorter distance; on the shortlist.

Placed in 7f events on Tapeta last November, including to the smart Checkandchallenge over C&D; 5-4, faded late on into third on 7f Leicester handicap debut/reappearance but the strength behind him in the betting suggests he's thought to be on a good mark and he could strip fitter for the run; given another chance from a handy draw back on AW.
