At the latest run 6th of 9 at Wolverhampton on March 24 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Shamardia with 60.5kg at $3. The start before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Newcastle All Weather March 6 over 1200m defeating Athollblair Boy carrying 61.5kg at $4.50. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Has ability and can bounce back.

First-up. Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Nottingham October 16 over 1000m, in the wet; 13 len behind Marching Mac with 68.5kg at $4. When resuming last campaign fourth of 13 at Thirsk April 9 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.0 len behind Nights Over Egypt carrying 56.5kg at $11. Not good enough for these.
