Last winter's bumper fourth here (soft) remains his best effort to date; have to hope this month's fading sixth after six months out was needed, given a first step beyond 2m1f awaits.

Something has clicked, having chased home a dark horse at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and then going one better on his return visit; up 5lb and good ground might be ideal but he's one of the few who are in form.
