Friday Night Live With SBK Handicap

All three wins over C&D, the latest in September; failed to build on his quite promising reappearance when well beaten at Southwell five weeks ago but capable of staging a revival back at Newcastle.

His progress stalled in the autumn but he resumed with quite an encouraging third over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago; nicely treated on the form he showed in some turf handicaps at the end of last summer; needs considering.

Has taken his AW record to 4-7 when winning twice at Southwell (7f/1m) since joining James Horton; raised 6lb since last time but the way he moved into contention suggests there's likely even more to come for his new stable.

Lightly raced 5yo who has progressive turf form; hasn't translated that to AW in two attempts but still early days and it's possible he needed last month's reappearance after wind surgery.

Ended his time with Henry de Bromhead with a good fourth in a Racing League handicap over C&D and struck at the second time of asking for Roger Fell in 7f Newmarket handicap in October; only nudged up 2lb and can go well if ready to roll after five months off.
