His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower).

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.
