Fresh after a break of 45 weeks. Jumped at $81.00 and below expectations when 6th last start at Haydock but facing weaker opposition. Won't find this easy.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Started at $29.00 and ran 7th last start at Cheltenham but up against a less competitive field. Others preferred.
