1-4 for another yard last spring and the same for the Moores this May-September; the two wins were on heavy and soft, including in nine-runner race at Sandown (1m2f) on latest outing when he came from off the pace and scampered just over 5l clear; 10lb higher today but needs plenty of respect after that big career best on similar ground.

Won over 5f on heavy at two when in a different yard; didn't look overly in love with Epsom last time (1m2f, good) and yet was only beaten 3.5l and the winner followed up at Doncaster last weekend.
