Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Finished second last start over 480m at this track behind Alnwick Souness in an A7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A7 by 0.8 len at this track over 480m (29.55). Can't recommend against this lot.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much harder. Right in the mix.
