Comment: Entitled to have needed his recent comeback, having been gelded and missed nine months; shaped well enough all things considered (pulled hard) at Windsor and should fare better for a yard enjoying a good week down 2lb.

Comment: Took a few runs to find his form for this yard but that saw his mark slide and a 7lb rise for last Friday's easy Yarmouth win (made all) leaves him 1lb shy of the rating off which he made his comeback in April; fair chance he follows up.
