Nothing like the force of old but hooded for his last two starts and the first of those was his first win since debut, narrowly making all off career-low mark over 8.6f at Wolverhampton; bid to do it again over that C&D one week later did not work out and this is his first run at Kempton; probably not the percentage call even though he still has a competitive mark.
