Useful type. Last outing finished ninth of 19 starters at Galway in the LR on August 2 over 4526m, 14 len behind Winning Smut with 74kg at $17. Before that won by 1.75 len Kilbeggan on July 11 over 5129m defeating No Time To Wait with 75.5kg at $4 in a steeplechase. Gets a chance to win. No surprise to see him back in form.

Previously first up; ran last in a small field at Ludlow May 11 over 4770m, 1.5 len behind Shanagh Bob with 71kg at $1.80. Should feature on his best form.

Last start finished fifth of 9 starters at Uttoxeter on July 27 over 4000m, 11 len behind Presentandcounting with 71kg at $10. The start before that; finished fourth in a small field at Newton Abbot on July 14 over 3300m, 5.5 len behind Centara carrying 70kg at $11. Not an appealing prospect despite a scarcity of opponents.
