On a long losing sequence and he was tried in a change of headgear when a below-form fourth of eight in 2m1f handicap here 13 days ago; this return to a longer trip should suit though so he's no forlorn hope from a slipping mark.

Made the frame in two handicaps at Catterick (1m7f/2m3f, good/soft) in January before respectable third in claimer there (1m7f, good); continues to edge down weights and might not be far away; cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Absent for 11 months prior to his stable debut at Perth three weeks ago so he may have needed the run; however, this ex-Irish 7yo has a regressive profile and a poor strike-rate, and others have less to prove.
