Started this season with a 7f win at Thirsk (soft; 9-2) in April but he's not come close to that form since; now 2lb lower than for last win but he needs a major upturn in form; tongue-tie back on.

Hard to get excited by his recent efforts but he has dipped back to the mark he was successful from at Thirsk (7f, soft) in the spring and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him stage a revival back from a short break.

Returned from a six-month absence to beat his nine rivals at Thirsk in April (7f, soft), completing a hat-trick in the process; three lesser efforts have followed and the returning tongue-tie (worn for his first two wins) needs to turn things around.
