Useful sprinter when trained by Ralph Beckett; posted a pleasing effort when finishing fourth from a wide draw at Sha Tin last month; no surprise if he was to have a say.

Prominent-racer who capitalised on a reduced mark to win at Lingfield (2m, heavy) in December and was a good second at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) next time; also ran well when second of three at Newbury (2m, good to firm) and there can be optimism he'll produce another bold show. |
