Made it 13th-time lucky on his return from 133 days off at Leicester (6f, good to firm) six days ago; not sure this will pan out the same way with no established front-runner in the field, but he still holds stronger claims than most. |

Having dropped a long way in the weights he was revived by the application of a hood in February, winning a 6f 0-50 classified event at Newcastle in good style; followed up in a handicap back there one week later and he was a close second over C&D on this month's return turf; 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
