Has at least won a race but recent heavy defeats cast plenty of doubts.

Mixed in handicaps, winning one off this mark here (1m2f, good) in March; back in some better form on his first two starts in cheekpieces but not on latest, albeit trying 1m4f; unraced on softer than good; not dismissed totally back down in trip.

J: Callum Shepherd

T: Roger Fell

Mixed in handicaps but he won one over 1m2f at Redcar in March and back in better form since cheekpieces have been fitted; however, the way he's been finishing recently suggests a stamina query for 1m4f.
