Jumped at $51.00 and disappointing display when 6th last time at Pontefract but stepping down to a lower level. Very unlikely to shake these.

First up after a 36 week break. Was $51.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last start at Haydock and taking on a lower class of opponents. Not threatening these.

Back after a 27 week break. At $5.50 overtook some late when 5th last time at York and goes down in grade. Has a nice turn of foot. One of the punters top hopes.

Backing up quickly for this race. At $13.00 performed below standard when 5th last run around here but competing in an easier class. Won't be far away during the run. Prefer in something weaker.
