Came good for Tony Carroll at third attempt, in Ffos Las classified (1m, good to soft) last month; has a bit more on his plate in this handicap but the move back up in trip ought to suit; might be the answer.

Two wins this year, at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June and a comfortable success at Leicester (1m2f apprentice event, good to soft) a week ago; races off the same mark as last time and although yet to race over this far, being by Sixties Icon raises hope.
