Stepped up on debut effort when finishing 5L third in a 1m novice event at Thirsk (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Hood worn for the first time that day is retained.
Showed improved form when finishing a good third in a soft ground 7f novice event at Haydock three weeks ago. Represents top connections and is bred to appreciate this step up in trip.
Struggled in two starts so far most recently when ninth over 1m at Thirsk (good-to-soft) just over a fortnight ago. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.
Slowly away when finishing well held over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-firm) on debut last month. Probably best watched at present.

SENDEED showed good form when placed in a novice contest last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Spirit Of Lund has run well over this distance in the past and he can take second position ahead of Philip's Wish who was placed on his most recent start.
