Two big runs in defeat at Thirsk (5f, soft/good) in August in a visor before finishing down the field in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; the blinkers are retained but he failed to settle last time and this drop back in distance could be a firm plus; not ruled out.

On a 15-race losing sequence and he needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice; however, he was showing promising signs previously, when unlucky at Beverley (5f, good) then second of six at Catterick (5f, soft), and he's not discounted.
