0-7 but he went close in a C&D handicap last month and backed that up with another creditable third at Southwell (5f) last time; on unchanged mark and he's a big player if this sets up for his closing style.

String of solid efforts in the tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination prior to a poor one last time; that came on turf, though, and he'll be happier back on the AW and over an easy 6f, plus he's well drawn for one happiest up front for a yard in fine form of late.
