Produced form figures of 1211 once upped to 7f last term; has posted two duck eggs this season but raced further back than usual on reappearance and was unfavourably drawn in the Victoria Cup latest; may prove resurgent.

Has form figures of 12110 (turf/AW) since upped to 7f, the most recent effort perhaps excusable as it was his seasonal debut and he raced a lot further back than usual; faces no easy task at this level but may resume his improvement with the reappearance under his belt.

Shaped with significant promise when midfield in novice races at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and Newbury (7f, good) but his stablemate Invited has stronger claims here.
