Proving a strong stayer, with recent form featuring wins over 3m4f at Haydock (good to soft) and an extended 3m1f at Cartmel (good); doesn't seem a benefactor of the decision to reduce this race's distance to 3m; otherwise open to further progress over fences.

Sent chasing this season and has been inconsistent (made a respiratory noise on penultimate start) but it looks as if he is best away from soft/heavy ground and won in clearcut fashion in a five-runner C&D race (good to soft) six weeks ago; 6lb higher today but 5lb claimer is recruited and he has more to offer as a stayer.
