Second run back from an absence (during which he was gelded) when going close in new cheekpieces at Ffos Las (6f, good); thereabouts, for all that this sharper trip might not be absolutely ideal.

C&D nursery winner last December off 7lb lower who's likely to be dropped in as usual from stall 7; enjoyed a consistent summer in slightly better company on turf and is one to consider in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces a few times last autumn).
