Two 6f wins on AW this year and when bidding for a hat-trick he was one of a number who met trouble in the 3yo handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; two good turf runs last year came on soft ground; vulnerable to progressive opposition.

The winner of his last three runs over 6f (also ran well over 5f in November), including C&D in January and at Lingfield seven weeks ago; has hung left in the closing stages for both those victories but was well on top at the finish on each occasion; another 6lb rise to contend with but he's on the up and has to enter the reckoning.
