Narrowly beaten last start at Newmarket and taking on easier opposition. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd last start at Newbury and putting a tidy record together. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Minor claims.

At $81.00 below standard effort when 13th last start at Epsom but up against a less challenging field. Has drawn to do little work. Chances are slim.
