Two wins in October (2m5f, good/3m, good to soft); treading water since and replacing regular rider Lewis Dobb (back today) with more experienced handling made no difference on Thursday; tongue-tie refitted.

Well below best on last four starts and has plenty to prove; however, his last three races have been on soft ground, which probably doesn't suit, and he bounced back to form from out of the blue when winning this at 66-1 last year (good going); followed up over C&D last March and he's dropped below that last winning mark for this first visit to Doncaster since; interesting.

0-7 over hurdles but, after some sketchy jumping in the early stages, he finished strongly from a poor position to take an unlikely third on last month's chasing debut at Catterick (2m3f, soft; first-time hood); his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but he can pose a potent threat if all goes to plan here.
