Two useful 6f runs as a juvenile, winning at Windsor on second start and making steady late headway into fourth of 22 in a valuable Newmarket sales race in October; gelded since; lacks a recent run and any experience of AW but 7f will suit and he has some potential.

These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event.

Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time.
