Made all to win a 6f handicap at Ripon last month; creditable fifth at Doncaster 17 days later; well drawn to attack and should be quick enough for 5f; respected.

Struck at the second time of asking in handicaps when making all under Lewis Chalkley at Ripon (6f, good) 17 days ago; his three closest pursuers haven't done much for the form since but he was comfortably on top and his unexposed profile provides the hope for better again.

Won on his handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in September and bounced back from two lesser efforts when third at Ripon (6f, good); below that level having raced freely over 7f last time but should be happier back down in trip.

0-12 but he's reached the frame in five of his last six starts including when fourth of 13 in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; this return to 7f is no problem and he's a key player back in a handicap.
