Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today.

Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race.

No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when sixth of eight at Haydock two weeks ago (extended 1m2f, good); didn't see much daylight between 2f out and 1f out there though and it was a higher grade; dropped 2lb and could yet rate higher.
