Having third race start. At big odds at debut, ran second last of 8 at Doncaster on June 5 over 2000m, 28 len behind Harmonics carrying 58kg at $26. Second-up 5th of 11 at Wetherby on June 15 over 1400m, 19 len behind Machadadorp carrying 59kg at $101. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Redcar April 20 over 2000m, 26 len behind Mr Colonel with 57kg at $126. On debut sixth of 8 at this track April 13 over 1600m, 14 len behind Eddaari carrying 57.5kg at $301. Will struggle against these.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 6th of 8 at Pontefract on May 22 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Naval Light carrying 58kg at $51. Second-up ran last of 11 at Doncaster on June 6 over 1400m, 12 len behind Shipbourne carrying 56.5kg at $201. Will find this too tough.
