Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 7 length third over 350m this track in 19.75. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (19.47) at this track over 350m. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 515m at Sandown. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Last start finished sixth on October 21 over 525m at The Meadows behind Rev Oberon, beaten 12 lengths (31.32) in a Grade 5. Will find this a little easier. Solid claims this line-up.
