Came good at 11th attempt, scoring in good style at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month, and ran at least as well when clear second on soft ground at Haydock a fortnight later; must be considered in current mood.

His breakthrough win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) had been coming and it was quite comfortable in the end; 3lb rise is fine but softer ground might not be, having disappointed on good to soft and twice withdrawn due to similar conditions.
