Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

Patchy record this year and well beaten in amateur races on turf the last twice; on a dangerous mark, notwithstanding that he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend, and a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue.
