Brought up a quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton in February and not far off his best when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) the following month. Likely player on return to action here.

Returned to winning ways when narrowly taking 10-runner minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Feasibly treated, back handicapping, and is one for shortlist.

8/1
14/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, firm) 57 days ago, left poorly placed. Dropped further 3 lb since and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new yard.

Largely acquitted himself well in sprint handicaps this term and likely wasn't suited by longer trip/softer ground at Beverley latest. Can make presence felt.
