The third in a Leicester novice last October is his standout run; 80-1 for a C&D handicap here in March and never counted (first-time hood).
Sharp pedigree but started out in bumpers; no match for the winner in a C&D novice last time but that's something to build on now handicapping.
Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks.
No wins in 11 but his first run after a gelding operation and in a tongue-tie when going down narrowly in a close finish at Kempton (7f); mark untouched so every chance with a repeat.
Better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals over C&D in January and it was over 1m when finishing midfield in a 22-runner handicap at Doncaster; considered.
Signed off last season with a win over 6f at Newcastle and, although only sixth here after a break 17 days ago, he only faded late on; could be happier over this extra furlong.
Not the easiest to predict but came from off the pace for a second career win on his first visit to Wolverhampton in March (7f; 2lb lower); breakthrough win in January was over C&D.
Slims Pickins is most useful when you can move from this single-race view back to the wider board, compare races quickly, and decide where the edge is strongest.
