Useful type. Last outing finished second in a small field at this track 3yo+ HDLE HCP (C2) on December 21 over 3900m, 5.5 len behind Nemean Lion carrying 62kg at $5. Before that finished fourth of 8 runners at Doncaster 3yo+ HCP HDLE (C2) on December 14 over 3330m, 5.5 len behind Jungle Jack with 71kg at $17. Looks very hard to beat.

Third-up today. Resuming finished 14th of 16 starters at Cheltenham 3yo+ HDLE HCP (C3) on November 15 over 4200m, 24 len behind Double Powerful carrying 69.5kg at $151. Second-up finished fifth of 8 starters at Ludlow 3yo+ HCP APP HDLE (C4) on December 18 over 4260m, 5 len behind Solar System carrying 76kg at $81. Likely to go around at long odds again and others appear better placed.
