Sole win in 24 starts came in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good) in May last year; beaten just under 2l into fourth of nine behind Washington Heir here (5f, good) three weeks ago, but may be better over this trip these days; a player despite his wide draw.

Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company.

Four wins last season, including competitive C&D handicap off the same mark as today; in and out this season but he gave it a good go from the front when close sixth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week, and this less demanding track should play to his strengths; respected.
