Exposed chaser but on a workable mark if he can shrug aside his latest disappointment that followed two solid efforts in defeat, including a second here behind Sublime Heights; ground will be fine.

All four wins have been gained at this track and latest was over C&D (soft) in January; that was off 2b higher but he's not come close to that form since and was a well-held third of four at Fontwell on his recent return after another wind op; has bit to prove and he needs a major revival.

Form & Verdict
The cheekpieces worked well when an emphatic winner over C&D (good) in October but he then raced lazily at Southwell and was finally pulled up; much depends on whether he'll be up for it in the new blinkers; handles soft.

Has dropped to a good mark during his losing spell and good ground was perhaps lively enough for him when a remote last of four on his reappearance (2m1f); has an encouraging record here and is dangerous to discount on this ground; a new visor could help him.

Form & Verdict
The highlight of a busy period was his win at Warwick (2m4f) in September; another decent show in his penultimate race, albeit in a small field (good to soft); most of his form is on good ground but he coped with heavy when based in France.

Cruised clear to win by 14l at Stratford (2m6f, good; other wins on soft/heavy) in July but hasn't threatened since and was 20l behind when third at Bangor (under Luke Scott); back from 96 days off but his record when fresh is nothing to shout about.
