Form & Verdict
Found his level now and he followed his breakthrough Wolverhampton win with a narrow defeat back there on Boxing Day (both 9.5f); interfered with by the winner on the latter occasion and traded at odds-on while the Stewards' Enquiry was taking place; can race off 3lb lower this time and he's likely to stay 1m4f around here.

Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit.

The addition of cheekpieces worked the oracle when he justified favouritism over C&D in September; not so good twice since and the stable may have stronger claims with Pablo Prince.
