33/1
6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) in February, making no impression. Had plenty of chances from this sort of mark and others make more appeal on return.

Unreliable sort. Below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, heavy) in October. Ha since switched yards and market likely best guide on return.
