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.

Built on a solid reappearance third (7f, soft) when scoring over 1m here (good to soft) in July; hung left under pressure (not for the first time) when only fourth over the extended 1m at Nottingham six weeks ago but he did travel well for a long way and the return to 7f won't inconvenience him; the likely ground conditions will suit him, too, and his yard is in form, so there are reasons to be positive.
