Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (30.37) at The Meadows. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.48), beating Paw Fabian. Will find this a bit tougher, likely to find this a bit tough.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.49) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has two successes and three minors from eight starts from box 8. Looks one of the chances.
