Tended to stick to slow turf/Polytrack; missed a year after finishing lame last June and was entitled to have needed his comeback, when third to Grey Soul over C&D; hit traffic late that day and is 2lb better off, so there's a fair chance he turns things round.

Reappeared having been gelded and has shown improved form this spring, going close at Kempton (7f, AW) then winning there (1m); has shown signs of promise on turf and he's a player if transferring his good form back to grass.
