Ex-French winner who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first success for current yard at Newton Abbot (2m2f) in July; backed it up with a solid third (off a 7lb higher mark) in 2m1f Cartmel handicap since; can make his presence felt eased 1lb.

Took a while to get off the mark for current stable and had become expensive to follow but exploited much-reduced mark when winning stylishly at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) a week ago and still looks well treated under a 7lb penalty.
