Lightly raced 4yo who narrowly made a successful return from 166 days off in a Yarmouth novice (1m, good to firm) a year ago, but was turned over at odds of 2-5 at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) next time; gelded since last seen and the market may be useful on handicap debut after another 11 months off.

Billy Garritty gets on well with him (form figures together read 421125) and the likes of Kessaar Power should ensure this is truly run, which will suit this hold-up performer; he does seem more effective over 7f, though.

Half-brother to Pyledriver; won twice over 7f last summer (including one on Tapeta) and was having only his second go over this far when a close third of 12 in a better race over C&D 16 days ago; that was his second start back from a five-month absence so he may well step up again; interesting.
