Gained a breakthrough success at Newcastle (1m4f) in January; back from five months off in good nick, though seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifth of eight at Nottingham (1m2f) 12 days ago; remains unexposed over this trip so very much one to consider.

Has a patchy profile but he won a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) in January and was a close fourth on his Musselburgh reappearance (12.4f, good) last month; this is a deeper race but has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.
