Won Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last February but had form figures of 79998 in final five runs last season; left Kevin Philippart De Foy for 13,000gns in October; bit to prove on return but he's dropped down the weights and needs watching in market on stable debut; equipment removed.

Off the mark at the seventh attempt when coming from rear to justify support at Southwell (7f; tongue-tie reapplied) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and is open to more progress; respected back on turf.
