Lord Snow has been a work in progress and he's now ready to get back into action after a lengthy break.
The son of Postponed will make his first appearance for 10 months when he steps out in the Elm Street Development 1400 at Avondale today.
"He's ready to go again and he's been taken along quietly - he's a very big horse so he's needed some time," said Moira Murdoch, who trains the Postponed gelding with her daughter Kieran.
Lord Snow was a debut second on the course last year before he broke his maiden next time out at Te Rapa and another second followed before he was turned out.
He recently finished fourth in an open trial.
