Had a long absence prior to his reappearance in January; there were some near misses along the way before he got back on the scoresheet with a brave win over C&D (good to firm) in August; couldn't hang in there at Pontefract last time but that was on slow ground and has possibilities if he can recapture his penultimate form.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (soft) last month; up 3lb but this return quicker ground should be fine and she's open to more progress at this trip; key player.

Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor.

Effective over 5f/6f and has won on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft; last success was off 2lb lower at Thirsk in August (6f, good to firm) and he ran another good race when a close third at Leicester (5f, good) last time; respected back up in trip.

Showed promise in two of his three qualifying runs but hung right before finishing a well-held sixth on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW; 9-1) in June; sold for 21,000gns in July and been gelded; market useful on his stable debut.
