Running well of late, winning at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month and going down by half a length at both Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) and Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in the meantime; attempts this far for the first time, but is 1lb well in and holds each-way claims if seeing it out.

Prominent racer who posted four wins in the second half of last year, including a C&D defeat of Charging Thunder on good; suffered a heavy defeat on AW last time but it was in a strong Good Friday race at Newcastle and Charging Thunder was once again behind him; a bold show seems likely in these much calmer waters back on turf.
