No win for a year but has slipped to 3lb below that last winning mark (7f, Ayr) and did offer something more positive when third to Highland Olly (Monhammer runner-up) over C&D latest; wouldn't want the ground conditions to ease any further.

Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark.
