Placed on all four starts for this stable, including three runs on the AW elsewhere this winter; sent off favourite last two goes; didn't see out 9.4f having been headstrong in front latest so this drop back in trip looks a wise move.

Has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in four of his last six starts, including a comfortable success from a wide draw three weeks ago; up another 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and this return to Polytrack should be fine; big player in hat-trick bid.
