Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form.

Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored.

Made it 0-13 when only sixth over C&D 11 days ago on his second start of the season, but it's possible he's working his way back to form and he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts; not written off.
