Can I have some ideas please for feeds that put on weight?

Billy has lost a bit of weight behind and looks a bit poor atm, He hasn't been ridden this week due to waiting for the mud fever to dry up (which it has & I hacked him today) but has had as much hay as he can eat and there is always some left in his haynet in the morning.

He is currently on Baileys Cool mix (gets 1 stubbs scoop morning & night) with half scoop of chaff and a handful of another mix we are changing him onto.

Had thought of putting him onto outshine, or conditioning cubes, but not really sure, as I think he is a bit of a worrier and has lost the weight due to being sore!

Previous horses have been good doers so a bit new to the world of conditioning feeds!
 
When I got G he was really poor, tried various conditioning feeds but had the best results on Speedibeet, Alfa A Oil and Carrots. Much cheaper and he looked amazing on it. A little too well, we've cut the Speedibeet out now as he was starting to look porky.
