Winner over 1m2f at Beverley (good) last spring and went agonisingly close to a second career success on Pontefract reappearance (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago; a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent another prominent showing if in similar form.

Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts.

Returned from a long absence to finish third in two AW novices this winter but made a disappointing start to his handicap career when 12l fifth at Chelmsford (1m) 37 days ago.

All three starts over 1m, showing promise on the first of two turf runs; no match for a smart prospect when second of three on Newcastle's Tapeta when last seen in October but showed enough to confirm he possesses a fairly useful level of ability; has obvious unexposed potential now handicapping on his return (has been gelded).

Came good at the fourth time of asking for current connections over C&D (good) last autumn; a little below that level on AW in recent weeks but may fare better back on turf; first-time cheekpieces are fitted after hanging left last time.

Second on good turf for James Tate last autumn and has bettered that form when reaching the frame in AW novices over 1m and 7f for new yard; unexposed handicap newcomer.

Showed a fair level of ability in three qualifying runs over 6f/7f last autumn; hasn't obviously shaped as if crying out for this step up in trip but still needs monitoring in the betting on this handicap debut and reappearance.

C&D winner on good last spring and added to tally when easily making all at Musselburgh (7f, good) last August; unplaced in four runs since but led for a long way when fifth on 7f Wolverhampton reappearance 18 days ago and could be spot on now.

Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW.
