Made all for a comfortable second Flat win for this stable at Bath (2m1f) ten days ago but has also been progressing well over hurdles this summer, most notably when chasing home a big improver on most recent start at Stratford (2m, good to firm) on handicap debut in August; big player here off a small rise.
