At the latest run second last in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on February 7 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Danehill Star carrying 59.5kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; won by a head at this track January 26 over 2400m defeating Starfighter carrying 61kg at $2.20. Encouraging effort last start.

First-up. Finished off last preparation eighth of 11 at this track December 6 over 3300m, 7 len behind Billy Bathgate carrying 58.5kg at $34. First up last campaign seventh of 10 at Southwell All Weather November 3 over 3300m, 11 len behind Young Endless carrying 59kg at $41. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. At the latest run 6th of 8 at this track on January 16 over 2400m, 10 len behind Havachoc with 61kg at $19. Before that 9th of 11 at this track on December 27 over 2800m, 11 len behind Daaris carrying 54kg at $21. Disappointing of late and looks safely held.
