Changed hands for 9,000gns after winning at Wolverhampton last summer (9.4f; left Kevin Philippart De Foy); low-key stable debut over 1m3f here in November (33-1) and this might not be enough of a test back from another break.

All three wins at about 7f, including on this track; often slowly away; had just two runs at 1m, never nearer than at the finish over C&D in August, when third to one on the first leg of a three-timer; can prove capable of better yet and remains of interest.
