Has been around the mark with 3rds at Towcester over 500m on 17 May (beaten 2.74L at $10) and 10 May (beaten 1.82L at $3.40). Blotted the copybook when 6th over 712m on 3 May, but prior 26 Apr 3rd over 500m was solid (1.46L at $3.20). Two wins and four minors from 11 at this trip for F J Gray suggest the setup suits. Can feature with another clean break.
