Having second run back today. First-up after a year didn't finish the race at Chepstow on February 9 over 4700m. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len Chepstow on January 24 2024 over 3900m on heavy track defeating Mad Mike with 72.5kg at $10 in a hurdle. Definite chance. Hard to fault on his best form.
