Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out.

Form figures of 4748 reflect his hitherto inconsistent record; ran creditably over C&D in August and ties in with Storm The Dug on that form but isn't certain to repeat it.
