His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved.

Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.
