Fourth at Beverley and Carlisle (favourite) in his two handicaps for James Horton, both 5f on good to firm last season; unraced since and sold for 16,000gns this May, before gelded; bred to stay 7f and he's an interesting contender if all is well after the absence.

Has been placed a few times and drops to this level for the first time, but ran poorly on his reappearance at Chester (7.7f, good) in June and has been off another 73 days since; blinkers need to make a difference if he is to make it 16th-time lucky.
