150,000gns purchase out of John Butler's yard in July; has run creditably on the AW on both starts, last time on stable debut winning a Wolverhampton novice (1m4f) at 8-13; penalised; has an American dirt pedigree so not sure to be as effective on turf.

Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race.
