Slipped down the weights this season and there has been sufficient evidence to suggest he retains a fair bit of his ability; perhaps not helped by racing down the middle of the track at Chepstow last time and he's one to take seriously.

Back to the mark off which he won a 6f handicap at Kempton in May and his latest fifth at Chepstow was promising (7f, good to firm); has the ability to play a major role but his tendency to fluff the start means he will always carry risk.
