Back to somewhere near best (following a wind operation) when second of 5 in handicap chase at Doncaster (20.5f, good) 34 days ago. Races off same mark here so needs considering.

Lightly-raced maiden who cut little ice switched to handicaps this season. Has at least dropped to a workable mark now chasing (made frame sole outing in Irish points).

On a losing run but showed he retains ability when returning from wind surgery to finish second at Ayr (20.5f). Showed little on belated chase bow here 12 days ago, however.

7/4
A most fortuitous winner at Newcastle on return (nearly 50 lengths down when left alone 2 out) but no element of luck involved in when scoring there 10 days ago, in command approaching last. Should go well again.
