Likes it here and nearly won this 12 months ago; however, he was down the field on his reappearance at this track and fared only a little better at Haydock; might still be finding his feet for a new yard.

Standing dish at the track, having earned eight of his 10 wins here on good or softer; a long way below par since finishing third over C&D in July (good to firm) but on a handy mark if he can be revived.
