Third at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day has been the only bright spot in his four races this autumn/winter; now has a 2lb lower mark and goes beyond an extended 2m4f for the first time.

Pulled up on two of last three runs, so isn't a reliable proposition; however, in between he kept on for a good third at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f, good to soft) and he is of interest on that form, if on a going day.

Half-brother to three winners, two in bumpers; 13-8 favourite on debut at Worcester (good) last month, when held up and never able to get seriously involved; has since left Olly Murphy and makes his debut for this trainer needing to step up significantly on that first effort.
