Last three wins, including two for Ryan Kavanagh last spring, have come over further; back in form when arguably an unlucky loser at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (extended 2m) and his claims are obvious off the same mark.

Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank.
