Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance.

Two handicap wins at 7f and 1m on AW and he ran to a useful level in a better race than this at Southwell in April; hasn't come near breaking his duck on turf on last two starts but he did run well in a better 6f race at Chester last summer so can't be totally dismissed.
