Made a successful chase debut at Hexham (1m7f) in May and continued to run well on good ground; however, wasn't at his best on soft at Cartmel in July and that's a concern given today's conditions.

Held on gamely to make winning chase debut at Hexham (1m7f) in May and ran well on both subsequent outings, more recently when third of four (just behind Anyharminasking) at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month; can make presence felt again here.
