Has been competitive or more when away from Group company and a strongly run race back at 7f should suit; others still appeal more from a handicapping perspective.

Campaigned mainly on AW, most recently 5l fourth (ran well but never dangerous) to King's Trail at Kempton on seasonal debut; bottom of this pack on the figures and trailed home last in the Royal Lodge on sole turf attempt; this outsider has plenty to prove and plenty to find.

Pretty useful form when second in a novice at Salisbury (1m, heavy) on second start, when he beat all bar the market leader and they were clear of a subsequent scorer; close third of five when 5-6 at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on latest outing was fairly lacklustre in comparison, but he's very much the one to beat if reverting to his Salisbury form.

Stepped up on his maiden/novice form when making a successful handicap debut (6f) here last week, travelling strongly and having enough in reserve to hold the late challenge of the runner-up; he was caught wide throughout on that occasion and the effort can be marked up; drop to 5f should be fine and a 3lb rise looks manageable; big player.
