Not in the ideal scenario, having gained both wins over 6f at Wolverhampton; placed over that C&D last week; however, he's nicely handicapped and has a sound record (win and close second from two attempts) under Oisin Murphy; shortlisted.

Stable yet to get rolling for the year and this gelding, who ran up a four-timer in lesser company last summer, resumes looking high enough in the weights; might just need this back from six months off at his age too.
