Two wins at the end of last year and only 2lb higher than for the second of them; didn't fare at all badly when third over C&D in May, after a break, and a strong contender on that, especially with cheekpieces refitted.

Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict.

Disappointed at Uttoxeter this month but had been steadily progressive before that; still on a feasible mark and Bradley Harris takes off 8lb so plenty going for him if the latest effort can be forgiven.
