Pretty consistent in seven AW runs and well backed when leading final 1f to win the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf; failed to live up to favouritism in another consolation race at Newcastle (2m Vase, AW) three weeks ago but that sixth of 20 off this mark was his best form, so he remains one to be interested in.
