Has had plenty of racing since winning on the Rowley course (7f, good) under Chloe Lyons in May but he found something new when striding right away over this C&D (good to firm) on Saturday; due an 8lb rise so 3lb well in; much respected.

On a three-year losing run and nothing like the force of old but his current mark reflects that and this is a good bit easier than the two handicaps he tackled in the spring; no surprise were this class dropper to go well with his yard among the winners.

His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out.
