On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him.

Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn.
