Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D.

First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers.
