Ready winner on AW Flat at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in May (final start for John Butler); struck at the third time of asking over hurdles for new yard in 2m1f Sedgefield maiden four weeks ago; put up 11lb for that Wolverhampton win but he was successful off this mark earlier in his career.

7-47 on AW but has struggled for form since finishing third at Newcastle (1m, Class 5; from 12lb higher) last November; failed to beat a rival in each of his last two starts (9.4f/1m4f) so it's difficult to have confidence.
