Third over C&D on Boxing Day when bidding for a five-timer at this track; still on a competitive mark and her quiet last run was on turf after a break of 158 days; better can be expected back here.

Off the mark at Chepstow (5f, good) in August but is 0-3 on AW; beaten a neck at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in September and may still have more improvement in him if he can translate that form to artificial surfaces.

Seems happiest on Tapeta, albeit he's a course winner, and has still to prove he's up to this mark on turf; two poor efforts this summer, after a break, leave him some way down the pecking order.

Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while.
