Has raced over 1m2f+ since his debut, coming closest to a first win when involved in a tight finish for a Doncaster novice last August; rather mixed in handicaps but it was a respectable effort when dropped back to 1m and third of seven in a returning visor at Ffos Las (good) one month ago; probably thereabouts.
