Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f.

Form & Verdict
Unraced beyond 10.3f but the way this Camelot 5yo kept on for third over that trip at Chester two runs ago suggests this step up in distance is worth a go; headgear on his last five starts but not today; effective on Polytrack and could be a contender if seeing it out.
