Just got the better of a protracted battle when making the breakthrough on the AW (21st attempt) over 1m2f here in February; didn't have much luck in running when placed off this mark back here subsequently; is versatile in terms of trip; realistic contender.

Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft.

Yet to win on AW (0-18) but usually goes well for Hollie Doyle (two wins, two seconds and a third); finished a keeping-on third in 1m2f classified here seven weeks ago but has only raced beyond that trip on a single occasion; stamina reserves a real risk.

Far from convincing 23-race maiden; weakened once headed at Lingfield (2m classified) last week and, even at this lowly level, this race is probably a shade more competitive; safer to look elsewhere.

Losing run goes back two years; has mostly run over further for this yard but he's run respectably in defeat at about 1m5f of late and refitting cheekpieces could help, having run three of his best races in them.
