Returned from over four years off with some moderate runs last year; however has returned to turf this term in the form of his life, winning back-to-back at Navan (6f, heavy) under Colin Keane and Bellewstown (5f, soft) under a 3lb claimer; rating has risen 14lb but he's still lightly raced and soft conditions will suit.
