Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at Sheffield then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in a OR1 at this track over 480m (28.64). Can continue the solid form.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 480m at this track in a handy 28.52, beating Grouchos Cossie.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
