Five C&D wins to his name from nine starts, latterly from the front off 6lb higher last August; looked on the downgrade in recent times but is well treated if wind surgery has helped.

Lost his way for Andrew Balding in the second half of last year but has found his level again lately; this is a bit easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting, including twice over C&D last month, and he enters calculations.

Found a couple of uncompetitive handicaps last month and is looking high in the weights having finished well held at Catterick latest; needs to find more from somewhere.

Inconsistent last year and has been off since a low-key comeback ten weeks ago; will find this a bit easier than he's used to but others have more pressing claims.

Sole victory came in a weak novice last backend and he's struggled since leaving Harry Charlton; not been seeing it out over further and now has a first crack at 5f (down from 7f) for a yard also responsible for Birkenhead.
