Form & Verdict
Returned from wind surgery to win at Windsor (6f, good) last month on his second handicap start, and he's since been a close third of 14 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta); kept on well last time and this lightly raced 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip; has run well here; strong claims.

On a long losing run but he's well handicapped on last year's best efforts and was beaten just a neck at Leicester (7f, soft) last time on his second start back from a break; has won twice here (6f/7f, good to firm) and it's a course that often brings out the best in him; firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
This is his first run of the year so it's hard to be overly confident regarding his claims; however, his course form figures read 21127215 and he returns to action in the same race he won last year, which could be a positive pointer; just 1lb higher today and not ruled out.
