Comment: Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; got the job done in a maiden special weight by three-quarters of a length, breaking his duck at the seventh time of asking last month upped to this trip; needs to be respected.

Comment: Out of the frame (beaten 9l in sixth) over 6f at Churchill Downs (claimer) in November; a winner over this C&D; returning from a layoff here; this line-up contains some strong opposition so makes little appeal.
