Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month.

Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track.

Well backed on his debut for an upwardly mobile yard 11 days ago but didn't look favoured by the drop to 7f and could only manage third; returning to 1m will help, as may the addition of cheekpieces, and he's greatly respected.
