Some decent efforts in defeat of late including when 4L sixth over 7f at York (good-to-soft) on his penultimate outing. Held at Redcar (7f, good) subsequently however and stamina to prove over this distance.

Victorious over C&D by a neck on good-to-firm ground earlier this month. Raised 4lb for that success and is an interesting contender having placed in this race in both 2017 and 2018.
