Won twice over 7f for Karl Burke as a 2yo; not much to celebrate since but his stable debut in January (C&D) wasn't without hope and he's now 10lb lower; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue.

Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win.
