Off the mark at Southwell (3m, good) four weeks ago with a second-time visor; up 3lb

Very in and out recently over hurdles; switches to chasing

Out of form this February/March but most 2024 form suggests he should be competitive

Clearly best efforts on soft; two unseats before 15l fourth on good ground latest outing

Dropped another 5lb in his 745-day absence; needs a close look despite stable form

So lightly raced, he should build on his second of six at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft)

Out of form this season; a lot seems to depend on the wind surgery since latest outing
