Typically races from off the pace and finishes strongly in the closing stages, a running style that often suits Newcastle’s Tapeta surface and long home straight. The current handicap mark is competitive enough to allow him to challenge if conditions in the race unfold favourably. If the leaders go too quickly in the early stages, the race could set up well, allowing him to make ground late in the final furlong.
Overall, his profile makes him a particularly interesting each-way value selection, if the race is run at a strong tempo. Generally available at odds of 13/2, and here's hoping the field remains the dead eight!
