Gone off the boil by the end of his previous campaign; down in grade on his return

Yet to score off a mark this high so will need to be at his very best to strike

Ended last season in good nick; hard to ignore if returning in the same form

Has dropped down to a very tempting mark; no surprise if he were to feature on his return

Not disgraced in his debut season; may have more to offer following the break

Disappointing when well beaten on his final outing last season; can't be recommended

Offered some hope last season; looks up to winning in this grade

Went close when finding only one too good in May; repeat of that run gives him a chance
