First two wins were on the AW; raced freely on comeback but got a march on his rivals back at Windsor last time (1m, good to firm) and held on nicely; 4lb rise to deal with but he's fresh for this time of year.

Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen but he's a dual AW winner who is well handicapped on his second at Doncaster (1m, good) last summer; has run well when fresh in the past and he needs watching in market on reappearance; refused to enter stalls in last intended start.
