Improved for a step up to 7f last season; made a slow start to this campaign but he had a wind operation in June and returned to form with a win at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) last week; penalty in a much stronger race asks a stiffer question.

Four wins from 14 starts, the most recent when dead-heating at Southwell (7f, AW) in October; struggled on his first three starts this year but didn't shape badly at Newbury (7f, good to soft; first start since wind surgery) three weeks ago; drops in grade with blinkers added.

Three wins last August/October, the first over C&D (good); also effective on good to soft (unraced on softer); however, he's struggled on his three runs this spring; hopes pinned on wind op prompting dramatic turnaround.

C&D winner who prevailed narrowly over 1m at Lingfield (fourth career win) on New Year's Eve; 7f perhaps too sharp here last time but that was still disappointing given he was beaten 8l; all handicap wins at Class 4 level and this is a Class 3.

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.
