Form & Verdict
Back with his old yard after a poor spell in Ireland and returned to form here last time; can only look well handicapped now and won't mind the drop from 7f, so his claims are obvious.

All wins have come after a recent outing, often from the front, so an absence and stall 10 isn't a great mix; he resumes on a handy mark however.

0-16; placed here over 6f in July and backed that up when third at Leicester (6f, good to firm) next time; not seen since a well-beaten favourite at Brighton (6f, good) in August; needs to bounce back after a break.

Form & Verdict
Most wins have come over 5f and still does the majority of his racing at that trip, but he's fine with 6f; has come more than a stone down the weights in the past year and been expensive to follow, so others appeal more; returns from three months off.
