Habitual slow starter who has had major blips in two of his last three runs, but he's also won five times (1m2f-1m6f) this season including at Haydock (good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has claims if he can bounce back again with Patrick Mullins booked; tongue-tie added.

Habitual slow starter; badly overdid it on penultimate outing (tailed off) but otherwise having a cracking season; that's despite another markedly slow start when upped to 1m6f at Haydock (good; not proven on softer) on latest outing, in which he got up by a neck in a slowly run race; raised another 3lb but it's the extra 6f which gives him far more to prove.
