Disappointed on handicap debut in November but has made the frame twice since (2m2f/2m1f); needs to find something extra to land this prize from 3lb out of the weights but might have untapped potential over 2m4f.

Improvement needed on this third handicap start and he could do with jumping better than when a soundly beaten third over C&D (soft) last month; however, that wasn't a bad run from this lightly raced Carlisle novice winner (2m1f, soft), and he should be capable of better; a tongue-tie goes on.
