Successful three times under regular rider Brodie Hampson, including at Beverley (1m2f) latest start; back up just 2lb he remains well handicapped on peak form; should remain competitive.

Won over this trip for today's rider at Newbury last June (good to firm); rather inconsistent since, but fine second to an in-form rival at Chepstow last time (1m2f, good to soft; The Pug just behind in third); a possible off current good mark.
