Seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 14/1). Off 142 days. Makes fibresand debut. Tough ask from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Rock Sound (6/5), Stone Soldier (4/1), Aljari (11/2), Gabrial The Devil (13/2), Gulliver (10/1), Zylan (18/1), Tawny Port (25/1), Muntadab (80/1)

ROCK SOUND is building up a solid record on fibresand and can follow up last week's victory now back up in trip. Gabrial The Devil can't be ignored in his current mood and Stone Soldier can take a hand if back to the form he was showing at this course in December.
