Both wins over this trip but on the AW and for Marco Botti; it was a good first run for this yard back at Wolverhampton but hasn't kicked on at all; ground conditions are another likely negative, together with stall 1.

Won twice over 6f at Wolverhampton (AW) when trained by Marco Botti and ran well when runner-up in a 0-90 there on her stable debut last month; however, she's yet to build on that in three starts since and is yet to prove as effective on turf.

Form & Verdict
His style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but, even so, his latest C&D run was eyecatching in the extreme (rider banned for ten days), dropped in from a wide draw and travelling powerfully but too far back to launch a menacing challenge; better drawn today and no doubt he's capable at this level if things pan out favourably.
