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.

Unraced here and three of his four wins have been at Kempton where he was a running-on fourth last time over 7f; won't mind returning to 1m and he has competitive turf form on slow and fast ground.

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.
