Opened account at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) in September, coming from off the pace for a clearcut success; last month's seasonal debut at Windsor was no better than satisfactory, but he might fare better now back on a stiff track and with that outing under his belt.

Mostly creditable efforts on Tapeta this winter but the handicapper has been winning the argument lately and he returns to turf off 2lb higher than when successful at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last summer; likely to be on the premises but might be vulnerable for the win.

Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence.
