Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time.

Form & Verdict
Novice winner on soft and has gone close in a 7f handicap on good to soft; well beaten upped to 1m at Leicester on final run in October but that was too bad to be true; has dipped to a dangerous mark and, at this trip, may have improvement lurking.

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden and comfortably held in 7f/1m1f handicaps for current one; the return of cheekpieces might not be a bad thing (figures of 23 when tried previously) but there are safer options.

Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination.
