Endured a fair spell in the doldrums until cheekpieces woke him up when chasing home Siam Fox at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; very well handicapped if that signals a revival in his fortunes.

Third in this race on good to firm last year and left even that form behind when bagging a Group 3 over the round mile here under Billy Loughnane a month later; hasn't fired in two outings this spring but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and no shock to see a revival back at Ascot.
