Form & Verdict
Out of the frame in both starts since returning, but probably needed his reappearance and may have failed to cope with the ground when tailed off at Thirsk (6f, soft) ten days ago; just 1lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last summer so could step up (well held in first two starts last season).

Running well on the AW in the spring, including a Wolverhampton success (7f; first-time cheekpieces) in April; was making his turf debut when beaten a head at Redcar (7f, good) a week ago, for which he is already due a 2lb rise; drop to 6f a question, but a strongly run race over the trip may suit him; tongue-tie removed.
