Good spell culminated in an October double; form has dipped sharply since and he is due a 2lb drop in future; close second in sole C&D attempt but this is harder and doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally.

Won a C&D maiden (good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; returned after a lengthy absence with a creditable fifth here (6f, good to soft) last month and ran another solid race at Pontefract last time; still looks on a workable mark and he shouldn't be far away.

Ripon maiden win (6f, good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; shaped nicely on his return from ten months off back at Ripon two weeks ago, poorly positioned but running the fastest final 2f split to snatch a never-dangerous fifth; should be sharper today and he's interesting off the same mark.
