Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player.

Goes well here but hasn't won in two years and become expensive to follow, finishing a beaten-favourite in two runs back; soft ground may have been behind his latest effort but he was withdrawn twice in May on account of good to firm, which is a worry.
