The return to turf, and to a visor from blinkers, has helped, with him a clear second at Hamilton before winning narrowly at Thirsk last Friday; is effectively 11lb higher under the penalty, which leaves him quite a bit on his plate.

Not a bad comeback behind Arabian Cobra (11lb better off tonight) at Hamilton 16 days ago, having been gelded and undergone a wind operation over the winter; entitled to have come on for that and is one to consider.
