His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved.

Drawn away from the action in a race not run to suit when second on Tapeta early in the month; none of his turf efforts have been as good, though, with him often blowing the start and/or pulling hard, and he'll need to settle better back up from 6f.
