Looked good when winning at Southwell on his handicap debut in February (6f); form then levelled off until he ran out the easy winner of a 6f handicap at Kempton in June (well backed); stiff task at Newmarket six weeks ago and the return to AW is in his favour.

He's dropped down the weights and was a close fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November on his penultimate start; however, a lesser run followed (6f, AW) to make it 0-7 and there's a stamina question to answer on his reappearance; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
