Ripon maiden win (6f, good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; shaped nicely on his return from ten months off back at Ripon two weeks ago, poorly positioned but running the fastest final 2f split to snatch a never-dangerous fifth; should be sharper today and he's interesting off the same mark.

Excellent 3yo season culminated in his Listed win at Ascot (1m6f, soft) and, after a delayed reappearance last year, he found career-best form to win a good handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft; tongue tied second time) in September on final outing; the Yorkshire Cup and Ascot Gold Cup entries are striking but ideally he would be on ground softer than good.
