Ran as if something amiss last time, folding tamely, but his two previous runs this year certainly give him a chance; just 2lb higher than when making most to win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in June; not ruled out.

Caused a 33-1 surprise when winning on his stable debut in January (8.5f, AW) but after a four-month break he couldn't repeat that level returned to turf when 18th of 22 at York (7f, good) seven weeks ago; tough to predict what can be expected this time.

Loves Redcar and he notched win number four here when storming clear over this distance (good to soft; at least as effective on good to firm) in June; well handled by Jack Nicholls that day and the pair were not disgraced at Pontefract next time; up 6lb but he's still well treated on the pick of last year's form; strong contender.
