Only had the three races and made the frame over C&D on his penultimate start; likely to have more to offer for his new stable this season but percentage call is to oppose after his layoff.

Last two trials revealed that he has some ability but never involved on racecourse bow last month; can only improve for that run but pedigree suggests this trip will be a bare minimum and he is likely to be a better option in time over 7f or 1m.

Won as a 2yo in Australia but after an encouraging start to Hong Kong career it has been mainly downhill since; first foray at this level offers some hope but that is somewhat negated by the wide draw; first-time cheekpieces.
