Form & Verdict
Made it 0-11 when down the field at York (5f, good) three weeks ago but a slow start didn't help and that was a hotter race than this; two starts ago he ran really well when second at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) in first-time headgear (retained since) and there's every chance he'll be fine now back up to 6f; went close on good to soft last year; not discounted.

Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces.

2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist.

Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right.
