A win and two places from four 7f runs here; the step up to 1m in cheekpieces has opened new doors of late, keeping on well into third of 17 at Doncaster before delivered late to win at Ayr; was quite impressive for his win here last September and he can do better back on this surface.

Form & Verdict
Three-time C&D winner last year, making all on two occasions and ridden prominently on the other; much less effective when ridden very patiently on all four appearances this season but her keeping-on fifth here (1m2f, soft) last month was a big step back in the right direction; well handicapped now and needs close attention in the betting.

Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him.
