He hasn't had masses of racing in the last four years and was rather quiet back from the latest layoff until successful in first-time blinkers at Warwick (3m2f, soft) in February; a 4lb rise shouldn't be a problem on past form but the blinkers need to work a second time.

Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance.

Made low-key stable debut over hurdles last month and was unable to justify good market support when well beaten on subsequent chasing debut; 2lb wrong for this quick return to hurdling but it won't be a surprise if he gets his act together for his respected new training partnership soon; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces
