Good effort to score last start by 2.75 lengths over 684m at Monmore in 41.58, beating Broncos Bullet. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Followed a minor placing at Oxford two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start in a OR at Oxford over 650m (39.31). In solid form and can win without surprising.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 684m at Monmore. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
