Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Will be tested in this company.

Latest effort finished last in an A4 on June 4 over 480m at this track behind Romeo Lightning beaten 6 lengths (29.79). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
