Won twice over 6f at Doncaster this summer, the second win coming off a 1lb higher mark; struggled on his last four starts and a full revival is required.

Landed a pair of 6f handicaps here in early summer; well below form elsewhere on all three runs since, only 17th at York and Thirsk on last two outings, but the return to Doncaster ensures he retains some interest on this first 5f venture since reappearance.

Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many.
