13-race maiden, five of those over fences. Having said that, his seasonal return offered mild optimism that he can win races. Same mark here as when going close at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in the spring. Not written off, but more needed.
Ran up a hat-trick to conclude last season in style, with two of those coming over C&D. Now up to a career-high mark for this return. More needed then, but conditions no problem and can go well fresh.
Only ran once over fences for Charlie Longsdon (pulled up). Came in for support prior to his debut for this yard at Worcester last month (2m, good) where he was too keen. Claims today if he can settle better than that.

Forecasts
Way Out West (10/11), Flight To Milan (9/4), Finnegan's Garden (3/1), Mistercobar (13/2), Robin Des Mana (12/1)
Finnegan's Garden goes well here and can't be ruled out on his return to action, while Way Out West is another who should be thereabouts if settling better than last time. However, MISTERCOBAR could improve for this drop in trip now switching to a new trainer who does well with those he takes on board from elsewhere, and he is suggested.
