Started big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a sizzling early spilt before being grabbed late to finish third (29.27) at Towcester over 500m. This looks too tough.

Well supported last time and burnt early with a scorching sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing second (29.12) over 500m at Towcester. Has a strong record from trap 3, including five wins. Go close.
