C&D winner (evens favourite) in March and followed up at Ffos Las (2m, good) in April; played second fiddle to stablemate Castle Ivers at Perth (2m; 7-4 favourite; from 3lb lower) latest, but there was still plenty of merit to that; is now rated 19lb higher than when the winning spell commenced.

On a hat-trick after justifying favouritism at Market Rasen and Ffos Las (both 2m); a combined rise of 16lb - 8lb for latest win - makes life more challenging as he moves into a Class 3 for the first time; however, he's improving and spearheads his yard's triple representation in this field.

Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick.

Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher.

Opened British account with ready win at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) last month and both subsequent runs (2m1f/2m) were perfectly respectable; seems versatile ground-wise and is probably still on a workable mark; likely contender.
