Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good) and he ran well from off the pace here (5.5f, soft) in September; fairly encouraging return when fifth of 12 at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month after which he had wind surgery; handy stall but being 5lb 'wrong' tempers enthusiasm.

Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level.
