Off the mark at the tenth attempt in C&D handicap in March and he returned from some time off with an encouraging second in first-time blinkers (retained) at Kempton (1m) a fortnight ago; could build on that; on the shortlist.

One piece of worthwhile form in his last three starts on turf, but returns to the AW off an 8lb lower mark than when successful at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in January; can take a hold and needs a good pace to aim at, but he may get it and interesting now dropped into a Class 6 for the first time.

Both wins have come at Chelmsford (1m, AW), the latest from 6lb higher in January; lightly raced on turf (0-4), but he ran with credit when third of nine in this headgear combination at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; 2lb lower and the winner has gone in again since; possibilities.
