Faded into fourth over 7f at Lingfield 12 days ago; may prove suited by this return to 6f but he's comparatively exposed (now 0-9) and doesn't look straightforward; blinkers worn last time are removed.

Turf winner for John Butler last summer; 0-12 for current yard, easily best of his last seven starts when beaten a neck at Bath in August; can front-run, in which case stall 1 should be a positive but he was always midfield from the same berth on Chelmsford Polytrack on latest outing.

Has failed to successfully get in foal since winning on Polytrack here (6f; stable debut) in March and now resumes her racing career; may have more to offer for this yard and looks interesting with Oisin Murphy booked on return to action.
