No bigger than 5-1 in his three starts this year but he's been disappointing on each occasion; eligible for Class 6 company as a result and capable of a revival; Tom Queally rides in preference to Voodoo Ray.

Six-time AW winner and he's lurking on a lowly mark now; not fired in two runs for this stable after a 552-day layoff but there was a bit more encouragement at Wolverhampton last month and he should be sharper today; interesting to see if there's market support back under these conditions.
