Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Wolverhampton in November (6f); unplaced in three runs since but he hasn't been beaten far on the last two occasions; not solid but he's capable on his good days.

17-race maiden but went close when runner-up to Hero Of The Hour over C&D last time; only has a 1lb rise to cope with and looks well treated but she's hardly one to rely on given her overall record; widest draw is a big negative over this C&D.
