Never made the frame for Sylvester Kirk, having started handicap life last year on an unrealistic mark; the handicapper's been quick to ease off, though, and he's worth tracking in the market for a new yard on his AW debut, having been gelded.

Twice turned over as favourite since making a winning debut for this yard off 7lb lower here in February (9.5f); had excuses each time, though, and he should be alright with the drop in trip, so needs considering.
