Off the mark at the 13th attempt with something to spare over C&D last Thursday; needs to show that the improved level of performance was no one-off, but if repeating the form he's well treated under a penalty.

His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove.

Built upon the promise of his first two starts (1m/6f, here) when getting up close home at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in April; disappointing on handicap debut over C&D in May and absent since, but he got upset in the stalls and retains potential; not written off.
