Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 0.9 lengths into third over 500m at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Returned from a break last start with a fifth (30.41) over 500m at Towcester in a OR1. Much improved for this but might struggle in this field.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settled off speed early and held position to finish second (29.64) at this track over 500m. Likely to be much improved on the experience. Has a blistering 29.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2.75 lengths second (29.66) over 500m at this track last time. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 500m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Happy to risk this time.
