J: Ciaran Gethings

T: Alastair Ralph

Soundly beaten sixth of 12 in Grade 2 at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February and hard to fancy on the back of that; however, he easily won a maiden at Taunton (2m, good) in January and followed up in a warm small-field novice at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) and his pedigree suggests this step up in trip will suit; might not be a forlorn hope each-way.
