Gained two emphatic wins in May after the cheekpieces went on, the second one over this C&D (good to firm); a 10lb rise seemed to find him out when third of four at Newbury (1m, good to firm) the following month and he needs to resume his progress; unraced on ground slower than good.

Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge.
