Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles.

Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces.

Won a 1m4f handicap here (13-8 favourite) last September but he's finished tailed off in three subsequent runs and latest was at Windsor last month; blinkers are now added and has lots to prove on this drop back to 1m.

Kept on well to score on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in September and is also suited by turf but he ended last season with two heavy AW defeats and returns from 163-day break with a point to prove.
