Caught the eye at Newcastle last month and confirmed that promise when overcoming traffic issue to win a 6f handicap five days later; not beaten far into fourth having travelled strongly in a better race last week; should get a good pace to aim at back at 5f and he's one to take very seriously.

Back on song with narrow win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; this triple C&D winner now goes back up in trip but he's a mercurial type who needs to bounce back again.
