Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally.

Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that.

Very consistent at a fair level on the Flat since the autumn, and collected a 1m4f AW handicap in November (RPR 72), but dropped out rather tamely on recent hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) and needs help from the first-time tongue-tie here.
