Placed on two of first four starts for Matt Sheppard and looked suited by switch to more positive tactics when scoring over C&D (good) four weeks ago; 5lb rise demands more from him today but it's reasonable to expect another good run.

Placed in all three handicaps, most recently when third on last month's seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft); should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination and features prominently in calculations.

Well beaten on both hurdling starts in the spring but his fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month was much more encouraging; almost certainly needs to improve again to make a winning handicap debut but that's possible, and this move back up in trip ought to suit.
