Last season started well before he lost his way; however, he does seem best when fresh and was returning from 153 days off when going close at Stratford in October (2m6f, good); over this more suitable trip, after a break, he has to be of interest.

Sprightly teenager who has won three times over C&D on good ground this season; ought to give another good account today but he's on a fairly tough mark now and this is more competitive than the races he usually contests.

Form & Verdict
3-7 during first season over fences, with all the wins gained at Plumpton (2m3f-3m1f); not seen since his second of four there in March but will be suited by today's ground and can feature if ready to roll; blinkers the headgear of choice here.
