It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable.

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.
