Made pretty much all for 1m2f handicap wins at Pontefract (soft) and Epsom (good to soft) this spring; bounced back from a couple of lesser runs in Group company when second of nine in 1m2f Newbury handicap (heavy) three weeks ago; should be very competitive from an unchanged mark.

Usually front-runner these days; three handicap wins last year before he narrowly took a Listed race at Newmarket in November, all over about 1m2f on soft or good to soft; weakened into a fair fourth in Chester Group 2 one month ago; should step up on that but he's unraced beyond 10.3f.

His three wins have come on soft or heavy, including coming from last to first to beat Have Secret and Paddy The Squire at Chester (1m2f) last month; showed his new mark is very workable when finding only a progressive 3yo too strong at Leicester (1m2f, heavy) on Tuesday; good shout if coping with the quick turnaround (he was second and first within eight days last autumn).
