Took advantage of a sliding mark when easily winning an ordinary Nottingham handicap from the front five weeks ago; drawn to attack again and fine on Tapeta but an 8lb rise will test him into a deeper race.

Off the boil since finishing second off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February but he's been running in sprints latterly; this is easier than he's used to and he ought to fare much better back from a short break.
