Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie.

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.

Modest in his first five starts but the application of cheekpieces seems to have helped, winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) before following up at Kempton (1m, AW) 24 days ago; up 6lb and has to be respected in his bid for the hat-trick.
