Refitted with blinkers when finally gaining a first win (switched to front-running) in 7f classified event at Brighton eight days ago; a repeat of that form in retained headgear will see him firmly in the picture again.

Has claims on a couple of runner-up efforts over 6f (good to firm) last summer but he's still a maiden after 31 starts and was well held in classified events in his final two runs last winter; now returns to sprinting but he needs to revive after 165 days off.
