Runner-up on second of 2 outings in points and very promising start over hurdles in Perth novice 17 days ago. Sets a solid standard on that showing and leading claims up in trip.

Some promise in bumpers but discouraging start over hurdles at Carlisle 10 weeks ago, awkward third and unseating rider next. Goes up markedly in trip now.
