Won on fast ground last May at Salisbury (1m6f) and Bath (11.5f); tailed off later that month but his recent reappearance here was a step back in the right direction; each-way claims if he's come on from that run.

Upped in trip and 11-10 favourite when weakening into third of six on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, AW) in September but that is the best form from his five starts; has otherwise not gone beyond 1m4f (tried in cheekpieces on final outing) so today's new trip might offer hope on this first run since 18,000gns sale out of Harry Charlton's last October.

Fairly lightly raced 4yo who left Harry Charlton after an underwhelming effort over C&D in October; swiftly in the groove for this yard and he followed encouraging second at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) in May by landing breakthrough success at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) three weeks ago; acts on Tapeta and he's firmly considered up 5lb.

Unraced at two; just five starts for Harry Charlton and following 18,000gns sale it was a good start for these connections when second at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely softer ground is an unknown but he attracted support ahead of that stable debut and should cope with this drop back in trip; player.
