Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D.

11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show.
