Back to winning ways at Southwell last October, his second run for this yard, when coming from off the pace to win a 6f Class 6 in good style; runner-up at Wolverhampton two days later but two runs since haven't been quite so good; others appeal more.

Returned to form on his second start for this stable to beat ten rivals to win at Southwell (6f, AW) a week go and backed that up two days later with another good run under a penalty at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) to finish second of 11; drop to 5f is a bit of a concern.

Won a 6f maiden at Kempton in February for Phil McEntee; struggled in handicaps initially, including on stable debut 16 days ago, but he was back in form with a game come-from-behind win at Southwell on Thursday; the front two were clear there and he's one to take seriously despite his penalty.

Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.
