Lightly raced 4yo; 436 days off before his last of eight at Sandown (7f, good to soft; 10-1) 18 days ago; could have needed the run and although his dam was a 2yo 5f winner, the sire won at up to 1m2f.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Clive Cox

One of two runners for Clive Cox who won this in 2003; has advanced his RPR with each start and it's interesting that he was so strong in the market for handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, good; 15-8) where he was given every chance but ultimately repelled by Iceford; won his maiden over 6f but 1m shouldn't be a problem; every chance of serving up another personal best.

110,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; weak 10-1 chance at Kempton (6f AW) and dropped away having been in touch with the leaders; could be wiser this time and strip fitter, but would need to see some confidence behind him.

Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form.
