A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.

0-14 but it was a solid third when 50-1 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) on his second go for this yard last month; took a massive step backwards when beaten 35l on AW a fortnight ago, however, and he'll need to have his Windsor hat on tonight.
