First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here.

His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift.

Improved for the switch to handicaps, winning well at Kempton in April and showing better form when second of 12 at Chester two weeks ago (6f, good); had a wider trip than the winner on that latest occasion (caught seven wide around the first bend) and has just a 1lb rise; unraced on faster than good but remains open to further progress.

The addition of blinkers saw him take a good step forward when comfortably seeing off 17 rivals at Newbury (6f, soft) last October; absent until Derby day three weeks ago where he was never a threat; the blinkers now return and dangerous to underestimate him.
