Two wins last summer, with two minor honours in the autumn including one here; ended last year on a low note and started this one with another, while pedigree leaves him with plenty to prove on this first go at 1m4f.

Two Catterick wins on good to soft ground as a 2yo; now 9lb lower than for the second of them but that is a result of a quiet campaign this year; down in grade after an 80-day break and a revival may be predicted by the market.
