Progressive; had to wait for a run and was value for more than the narrow winning margin in useful handicap (1m2f, good to soft) at Sandown last time, completing a hat-trick and taking record to 3-5; he is 2-2 over 1m4f and holds a leading chance on the figures back up in trip.

Improving at a rate of knots, winning 1m4f AW events at Southwell (novice; narrowly) and Kempton (handicap; convincingly) on his last two starts; a rise of 14lb for the last success looks justified and he may have more in the tank; showed some promise on turf on his first two outings and dropping back to 1m2f should not inconvenience him in the slightest; big player.
