Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.
