Course record of 3-8 includes the odd flop, but also two C&D successes, the latest off 1lb lower last August; hasn't offered anything elsewhere since, and much depends on this place inspiring him again.

Two wins at Cartmel last summer (3m1f/2m5f, good to soft/good); however, pulled up/well beaten at Ayr and Catterick on his last two starts and a big turnaround is necessary today.

Hit some form at Cartmel in the summer, winning over 3m1f and 2m5f; up 8lb for the last success, which will make things much tougher, especially away from his local course.
