Maiden; soundly beaten in four turf handicaps at 7f/1m, including at Doncaster last time, but he had found new reserves when runner-up over this C&D in August, so a return to form couldn't be ruled out back on this surface.

Seven-race maiden who ran well behind a useful rival on final start for previous stable; strong-finishing second with tongue-tie fitted at Southwell (1m, AW) most recently, proving resurgent and showing clear best form since joining current yard; respected in the retained oral strap.
