Two solid efforts in his four handicaps but he can take a strong hold and was beaten 14l when eighth at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last time; record now stands at 0-8 and he comes with risks attached.

Promising debut second at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last July before failing to kick on; returned with good second at Brighton last month (6f, good to firm; gelded); there's a concern he'll follow the same pattern as last year but this is an excellent opportunity if he's anywhere near his best.
