Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again.
