1-19, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; however, he has been in the first three on six occasions, including on turf on a variety of ground; returns to turf with place claims.

Generally consistent in his time with Ian Williams when he scored three times on AW from 1m to 1m2f; second start for this yard wasn't devoid of promise at Kempton (1m4f) 17 days ago but suitability for the combination of this trip and likely ground is yet to be determined.
