Could take to a test like this but his stamina for 3m6f is not copper-bottomed.

Good handicapper over regulation fences and could be an improver over this far.

Placed on his three runs on this course and he's right in the mix off this mark.
9	No silk	Back On The Lash b Sean Bowen · Martin Keighley	Sean Bowen · Martin Keighley	145	—	5P-923	137	166	129	76d	—	—	—	21.8	—
Regular in races of this nature but good ground seems to the key to him.
10	No silk	Mortal b Sam Ewing · Gordon Elliott	Sam Ewing · Gordon Elliott	144	tp	05948-	136	163	104	356d	—	—	—	21.5	—
