No threat under Billy Loughnane at Newcastle in July and now back from another break; however, he won over C&D in May and chance on that form, for all that he's 5lb higher.

The form of his 5f win at Wolverhampton in May has been franked since; a 5lb higher mark should be in range and the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests he will be ready to go after 81 days off.

Form & Verdict
Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries.

Three course wins, including when scrambling home by a nose over C&D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; slowly away (under a 6lb penalty) when fifth to Nzuri over C&D (7-2) last week; it isn't impossible (with this better draw) that he'll be closer this time.

0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely).

Fair AW form when trained in Ireland, recording an RPR of 69 as recently as November; ran poorly in his three starts for Barry Brennan this year but he has dropped 9lb for his troubles and starts out for a new yard at a low level; tongue-tie added; interesting.
