Has form figures of 431122 since switched in handicaps and that latest second was a near-miss at Exeter (2m7f, good) 13 days ago; up another 3lb but he's versatile ground-wise and is open to more progress over staying trips; strongly respected with cheekpieces added.

Won over C&D (good to soft) and then at Wincanton (3m, heavy) before coming up short in a higher grade (Class 3) at Newbury (3m, good to soft) but still ran well behind the favourite and was clear of the remainder; gets in off the same mark here; good chance.
