Acts on any ground (second win was on heavy); 4-4 in 1m2f handicaps this season, last time having to wait for room before he grabbed a seven-runner race from Perfect Play at Ripon (good); none of those handicaps had more than eight runners and he's up another 5lb but he keeps finding more.

Steadily progressive last year and, having been gelded, he's won 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (good to soft) and Nottingham (heavy) in the space of eight days last month in his two runs this season; looked like winning by a fair bit further at one late stage in a four-runner race last time and this 2lb higher mark may well underestimate him.

A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises.
