Made all at Southwell (1m; 16-1) in February and also ran well (third; in first-time cheekpieces) there in April; underwhelming since, particularly on last two starts (both 1m); it's possible that this sharper track could suit.

0-11 but was runner-up in two AW handicaps in January and he's finished placed on turf (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; edging back up the weights but he got crowded out in the closing stages at Newmarket last time and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix.
