Off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in May and second in two of his last three starts; latest at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) six days ago was just a six-runner race but it looks like he will be bang there again.

0-7 but a drop to 5.7f at Bath (good; unraced on firmer) last time produced a front-running second of 11 off today's mark; admittedly beaten 3l but he was clear at one stage and this first attempt at 5f is interesting.
