Handled heavy ground best when winning a claimer easily at a big price in May; hit hard by the assessor for that and he finished well held for his new yard last time.

Had three quick runs on the AW; weak 7-1 chance for handicap/turf debut at Ripon (6f, soft) but was never ideally positioned and was beaten 5l into fourth; can do better and he's dropped into a claimer here.

He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run.
