Very competitive since he got a mark, with form figures of 2152213; return to turf proved no problem when fairly close third of ten at Yarmouth (1m, good) one month ago and he's threatening to take after his only sibling, who has proved relentlessly progressive for these connections; big player.

Beaten favourite three times since breaking through over C&D in January but his last two efforts were sound; first-time headgear (cheekpieces) could help to focus him and Oisin Murphy is 9-28 (+12.68) for the yard in the last five years; the one to beat.
