Seems versatile ground-wise; first turf win when beating one in tremendous form (won again since) over 7f at Catterick latest but had been a shade unfortunate not to win over C&D in June, when just losing concentration at a fatal stage; back up 4lb but was close behind a well-treated one in this race last year off the same mark; solid chance.
