J: William Buick

T: James Horton

Promising third in the Lincoln here (1m, soft) on his yard debut in March but largely disappointing since, failing to build on Haydock third when down the field behind a few of these at York 15 days ago; no surprise were he to go well back here under William Buick but he's hardly a solid one.

Form & Verdict
Approaching the veteran stage and has a strike rate of 6-64, placed 14 times; comes into the reckoning on the basis of C&D third in April and a recent Gowran second that gives him the beating of stablemate Exquisite Acclaim.
