Back to form with a 20-1 win at Redcar where he and runner-up Reginald Charles benefited from racing alone; did that comfortably and a 6lb rise wouldn't be too troublesome if he has turned a corner.

Formerly consistent and has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of his form, but heavy defeats over 1m here and at Ripon in his last two starts leave him with enough to prove.

Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture.

On a long losing spell and his record for current stable is far from convincing; chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time cheekpieces; 0-6 in blinkers.
