Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts.
