Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor.

0-8, though only 0-3 for this yard; came up short in a lower-grade handicap at Kempton last time (7f) but was a strong favourite and the manner in which he kept on suggests 1m might be more suitable.

Shot up the weights for winning four times through the winter (1m-1m2f) but only 3lb higher than for the last of those and he might have had some say last week at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but for hanging and losing his place before running on again; hold-up performer who will need everything to drop right.
