Having ended last season in the doldrums he returned to form when third of five in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on last month's reappearance at Windsor (3m, soft); he goes well fresh so it remains to be seen if he'll improve for that latest outing, but he's respected nevertheless.

Form & Verdict
Placed in Irish points a year ago; did well to make a winning British/bumper debut at Market Rasen in May, coming from last place in a moderately run event; that form might be ordinary but he's likely to do better and 7lb penalty negated by Jack Hogan's claim.
