First-up after a 75-month break, he resumes for Ryuji Okubo with Yuga Kawada booked and rises 3kg to 56kg. His last preparation at Kanazawa in 2020 included 3rd over 1400m twice before unplaced 1500m runs, and he now drops 300m and draws barrier 6. A long layoff tempers confidence, but his early-2020 sprint efforts offer a modest platform for a cautious return.
