Steadily progressive and posted another personal best when third at Southwell (5f, AW) on reappearance; his turf form is at a lower level but he still won at Thirsk last spring and finished third in a big field at York's Dante meeting (both 5f, good to firm); race-fit and should be in the thick of things again if a low draw doesn't count against him.
