Went the wrong way last year and there was nothing positive to report about his comeback run in a 1m Ripon handicap; drops in grade but with a great deal to prove; headgear returns.

Handled heavy ground best when winning a claimer easily at a big price in May; hit hard by the assessor for that and he finished well held for his new yard last time.

Form & Verdict
Had three quick runs on the AW; weak 7-1 chance for handicap/turf debut at Ripon (6f, soft) but was never ideally positioned and was beaten 5l into fourth; can do better and he's dropped into a claimer here.

Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds.
