Has been in tremendous form, putting three wins together. Had plenty of support last start when he won by 2.5 lengths at Sale (24.45) beating Dr. Patrick in a Grade 5 FIN on April 26. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Sandown over 515m in 29.33, claiming a Grade 5 H by 5 lengths. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at Sandown. Not keen, needs to lift.
