Close third behind Dark Thirty in this race 12 months ago; found some progress when cheekpieces were added in October, winning back-to-back handicaps at Pontefract and over C&D (soft; Korker second); perhaps found the heavy ground too much for him when last seen in November; can go well fresh and may find further progress this year; high on the list.

His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form.
