Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only second over 480m at this track in 29.01. Looks a solid contender.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 450m at Sunderland in a handy 26.48, beating Cunnigar King. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.
