Made it 18th-time lucky with an emphatic success in a 0-50 classified event over C&D seven days ago; this will be harder back in a handicap under a 5lb penalty, but he would be dangerous if something has truly clicked.

Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood.
