Successful at Haydock (3m4f, good to soft) and Cartmel (3m1f, good) in spring; absent since good second, staying on, in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June; this second-season chaser remains open to further progress and is still particularly unexposed over extreme trips; shortlisted.

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.
