Consistent maiden but has been favourite three times; ran his best race last time when runner-up at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; steps up in trip and should not be far away.

Still seeking breakthrough (0-6), going closest when third at Nottingham (8.5f, good; 4-1 favourite) in April; soft ground given as the reason for a less-convincing effort at Lingfield (1m1f; fourth of seven, 5-2 favourite) latest.

Third around 1m at Nottingham (good) and Yarmouth (good to firm) switched to handicaps this spring; below the level of those efforts on soft ground last year but it was his debut; has a useful pedigree and too soon to suggest he's reached his limit.

Fair form on his three starts as 2yo, on good to soft on first two occasions, before justifying 11-10 favouritism in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; needs improvement on this handicap debut but it should be forthcoming with this step up in trip.

Second to Magnetude at Chester (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; 10-11 for seven-runner race at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but drawing 4l clear represented improved form and gave plenty of hope for 1m6f; up 7lb but considered for yard which also runs Hard To Believe.

Won Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in January on fourth start and returned from break with close second on handicap debut at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; only third of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) but that was still a good run and he could be in the shake-up today.

Made heavy weather of it when landing a 9.4f novice here in January (2-5 favourite); better in form terms when second of eight in a Chester handicap three weeks ago (extended 1m4f, good; Galilean Quality third) but he looked a tricky ride in the straight, hanging both ways; has the ability to deal with a 3lb rise but there are reservations.
