0-13 and latest effort on turf was modest, but he was only beaten half a length by Jack Andrea over this C&D the time before (pair clear); 3lb better off and every chance if bouncing back.

Capable of the odd howler but he opened his account in Southwell handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and similar form when third in an amateur riders' race back there three weeks later; wasn't at his best in another amateur riders' race last time but he's recovered from blips before.

Forced a dead-heat at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in November, but was subsequently demoted so is technically 0-11; return to this trip should suit, but he has been off for 130 days; market useful.

Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present.
