Ran just four times last year, winning on three occasions (1m, good/soft), and back on the scoresheet at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on his second start of the season; did it cosily last time and a 4lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo.

Completed a hat-trick last summer with the first two legs coming over C&D (good ground); promising third at Ripon on his seasonal return two weeks ago, keeping on well from 2f out having earlier clipped a rival's heels as the race was hotting up; still has more to offer and the drying ground is the only imponderable (unraced on faster than good).

Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time.
