Big improver for this yard last year, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in July; remains feasibly treated on that form but he's been out of sorts in both runs this season and needs to get back on track.

Proved progressive last year having joined this yard, winning three times (good to firm/AW) including when making all at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in July; also ran really well when second of 17 at Ascot (1m, soft; off current mark) in September but he was beaten a long way on his final start of that term and again at Lingfield on his reappearance four weeks ago; needs to put those efforts behind him but that's not out of the question.
