Free-going front-runner; headed close home here in May and made a pleasing return when again second under a positive ride last month; can prove a big danger if allowed to dictate the pace. |

First two starts this term were positive but he took a backward step when beating only one rival home last month; remains lightly raced but others have much more appealing profiles. |

Made his local breakthrough when scoring over 1m2f here on the turf on his penultimate start last season; last month's return run was only moderate but he should be much sharper this time around. |

Best effort last season was a fifth-place finish over 7f here in June; last month's return to action over today's C&D was lacklustre; needs to find plenty more. |
