Fairly useful handicapper: won first 5 starts this year, including at Southwell (by ¾ length from Win Win Power) in March: placed 4 consecutive starts since, including when third at Wolverhampton (length behind Longlai) in August: 15/2, below form when 7¼ lengths ninth of 14 to Tolstoy at Newcastle last time: best form around 1m: acts on polytrack, tapeta, good to firm and good to soft going.
