0-18; hinted at a breakthrough last season but yet to replicate that form in three starts this term; should be showing more off his current mark.

Dropped to a career low mark before belatedly shedding his maiden status over C&D last month; up 5lb now but should still be capable of playing a hand in the finish. |

Weakened late on after racing prominently on his recent seasonal/stbale debut; 2lb below his last winning mark so has to be respected dropping down into this grade for the first time.
