Getting on for two years since he last won but he is operating off a reduced mark these days and he ran well over C&D in both December and January; not the easiest ride and Rossa Ryan replaces a 7lb claimer today; should go well.

Hit the ground running for this yard when scoring on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) in July; yet to match that in three subsequent starts, including when beaten 15l over this trip at Pontefract last time; that came in a higher grade, however, and he's already 1lb below his Ripon mark.

Nine-time winner, the latest a Class 4 at Haydock last June off just 1lb lower; satisfactory return from a six-month break 20 days ago; this is less demanding and he is one to consider.
