Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 2.5 lengths (17.55) in a D2 over 275m at Doncaster. Deserves another chance.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing fifth over 275m at Doncaster on October 11. Looks a leading contender.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 275m at Doncaster, adding to some plain results of late. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
