Created good impression when ready winner of Ripon maiden (5f, good to soft) last month, his third start, and was not discredited when midfield in valuable 6f nursery at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago; back in calmer waters here and remains very much of interest.

Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack.
