Three wins at 1m1f/1m2f on turf for Nigel Tinkler last summer and has continued the good work for her new stable, scoring over hurdles in January and twice on AW Flat in recent weeks, latterly under 5lb claimer Tommie Jakes; another 6lb higher now but it may well not stop him.

All of his Flat success for this yard has been on AW, albeit with good-ground hurdle wins too and he was runner-up at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last August; has a run under his belt this term but to win this would require a new best performance on turf.

Was a more convincing Wolverhampton winner (2m) in October than the narrow margin suggests, making it 4-5 on sand for this yard, including at 1m3f and 1m4f on this track; well held over hurdles in November but had wind operation since; by no means out of it.

Mainly seen over hurdles these days but he finished second of ten at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) in October and had a good AW record last year (1112) including a win here (1m4f); attempts this far for the first time on the Flat and is off a career-high mark, but good chance if he stays.

Form & Verdict
Reached the frame in low-grade handicap hurdles this spring but never a threat back on the Flat here (1m2f) three weeks ago; the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 4lb, back to his last successful mark, but others are still preferred.
