Looked good when making all in a maiden over C&D last October, but having been gelded he hasn't built on that in two starts on turf since returning to action last month; return here a positive and he remains unexposed, but an uncontested lead seems unlikely.

Down the field ten days ago following a break, when usual front-running tactics weren't adopted on first start since rejoining this yard; however, running well in defeat otherwise this year and he's a two-time C&D winner; probably fine on good to soft, unproven on soft; could make a bold bid.
