Last outing made ground from midfield; ran last in a small field at Warwick on February 20 over 3800m, on slow going 73 len behind Sinnatra with 71kg at $151. The start before that; finished ninth of 14 starters at Uttoxeter on January 24 over 3200m, slow track; 70 len behind Tales Of Bravery with 73.5kg at $151. Looking to others barring a strong market push.

Last start finished ninth of 11 runners at Ludlow on February 4 over 3200m, on slow going 46 len behind Sherminator with 66.5kg at $101. Before that settled back and ran on when finished seventh of 12 starters at Uttoxeter on December 31 over 3200m, 42 len behind Millstatt Abbey with 71kg at $29. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
