Jumping's Back At Leicester Tuesday 17th November Handicap

Came good in the mud this time last year, signing off with success in a Nottingham nursery (5f). Not beaten far first 2 starts this season and probably needed the run back from 4 months off at Haydock 10 days ago. Better expected now.

Stepped up markedly on his first 2 starts for this yard when taking advantage of a career-low mark at Redcar and had no trouble defying a penalty at Yarmouth (soft) 4 days later. Looks up to completing the hat-trick under another 5-lb penalty with the drop back to 5f unlikely to be an issue.

Completed a hat-trick in early summer for Pam Sly and came good on fourth start for this yard at Newmarket on Thursday, suited by the drop back to this trip. Penalised for that and still has to prove he handles ground this testing.

Sole win came on heavy ground for Richard Fahey. Just the 3 starts this year and he was far from disgraced having been taken on for the lead when fourth at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. Has now dipped below his winning mark.

Ended last season on a high but has generally struggled this year despite a falling mark, his last 2 efforts his worst yet.

Made all at Nottingham in June off 2 lb higher. Mixed record since, 6¼ lengths third to Wodao at Redcar 10 days ago, but he's 13 lb better off with the winner here. Handled these conditions as a 2-y-o.

Won pair of 5f handicaps on soft ground last autumn. However, showed little both starts in September after 10 months off.
