Has been fairly consistent lately and he meets the required standard ability wise; creditable fourth when behind the reopposing Heritage Ridge last month; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then hard to dismiss.

Came home sixth, beaten 7l, at Kenilworth last month; hard to dismiss from a draw which should help and she's shown signs of promise here and there.

A winner over this C&D; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Kenilworth (beaten just over 3l) 48 days ago in a Class 5; facing a testing assignment and looks opposable.
