Won a couple of classified events here (7f/1m) early last year and is 4lb lower than when third of 12 at this venue in December; his three efforts since (including last month's reappearance) leave him with something to prove though.

Step back up from 6f and drop to this class enough to see him off the mark at Chelmsford a fortnight ago; the cheekpieces have clearly helped too but this looks a better race on his Tapeta debut.
