Has a modest strike-rate but he's certainly threatening another win, beaten only narrowly over C&D three weeks ago; nudged up 1lb but still looks well handicapped; ready to strike and looks the one to beat.

Both wins on AW, in France and for this yard at Wolverhampton (about 1m1f) in February; has yet to win on turf (0-12) but this is the first time he's attempted 1m2f on grass and it might just work for him.

All three wins have been over C&D and last two were in January; has been a bit up and down since his last win but he hit a personal best with his near-miss at Lingfield last time and is only 1lb higher back at this track; interesting contender.
