Catterick winner in December (2m3f, good to soft) and decent efforts both completed starts since, last time finishing 5l in front of Kankin when runner-up at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft); could go well but unproven on this faster ground.

Consistent spell last winter included a 2m3f win at Catterick (good to soft); not having such a steady time of it this winter but he hadn't been brushed off when coming down two out in the race won by The Paddy Pie at Sedgefield last month; in the mix if shrugging that off.
