A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before.

Form & Verdict
Didn't exactly blow them away when defying a penalty to complete his hat-trick (all 1m handicaps) at Windsor but did enough to get the job done and effectively only 5lb higher now if taking Brandon Wilkie's claim into account; well bred and entitled to improve some more.
