Easy winner of a Leicester novice (7f, good to firm) last October and fourth of nine in a Newbury Group 3 (7f, heavy) 11 days later, but he's not really got going in four runs this season; dropped another 3lb but he has something to prove and is untried on AW.

Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance.
