Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back.

Wolverhampton maiden winner (6f) in November; runner-up over C&D in two runs since, no match for the winner when backed into odds-on favouritism for his handicap debut last month but he was keeping on and cheekpieces might help; more appealing than some.
