Led on the post here for the first of two 1m4f wins last summer for Gemma Tutty and, with tongue-tie enlisted, hit major new heights for new yard this year with his wins from off the pace at Newcastle (2m, AW) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft); raised another 9lb, which demands more, but those last two wins were delivered in some style and he has to be considered seriously.

Third, one place behind Alrazeen (Chemistry fourth), at Southwell in December prior to justifying favouritism there (2m; off 5lb lower) later that month; no excuses when fifth (beaten under 4l) to the progressive Ribble Vibe at Wolverhampton latest; consistent but needs career best from this mark.
