Generally modest overall, though did finish second when switched to the Sha Tin dirt last month; a backward step last time leaves questions to answer back on this surface.

Posted a career-best effort when narrowly beaten over 6f at Sha Tin on New Year's Day, and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this marked step up in trip if lining up.
