3-41; 7lb lower than when making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) around this time last year and he has offered a little bit of encouragement in his last couple of outings; off 11 weeks, but could go well at a price.

Often runs well fresh, so the break looks in his favour, and two of his wins have come at big prices; capable of popping up off a career-low mark but he'll need to bounce back after a poor summer.

Two wins on Tapeta, the handicap off only 2lb lower (1m); only subsequent blip came two runs back in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newmarket and he soon steadied the ship at Southwell; unlikely to be far away.
