Dual C&D winner; drops into a 0-55 for the first time since completing the last leg of a four-timer at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) in February, since when he has won over hurdles; may have done too much early when fifth of 12 back here 18 days ago; very much of interest at this level; stable also runs Boujee Gold.

Off the mark over 8.6f here in January and placed in both goes over C&D in the meantime; the switch to blinkers didn't have a positive effect last time but the return of a visor looks a positive; high on list.
