Record of 1-11 but his won was off 1lb higher at Southwell (5f, AW) in January and he ran well for a long way in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (fifth of eighth) 11 days ago; headgear is now added and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade.

It took him nine attempts to get off the mark, justifying even-money favouritism in a maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) three weeks ago; however, a case can be made judged on his Listed second at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last October; not discounted.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.
