Well supported when winning at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last September and only just beaten from the outside stall over the same C&D the following month; had excuses for his final effort there (ran wide on the bend) and a hood is now given a go (has worn cheekpieces), but he may need this after 142 days off.

Got off the mark with an odds-on win in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, Tapeta) in January but he's not gone on from that in four runs since; was forced wide over C&D last time but he finished behind Porfin in that race and it took his record to 1-14; others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Best recent efforts have come over 7f here, winning another 0-70 in January and going down by less than a length last month; won over 6f at Southwell (Tapeta) in December, but the extra furlong does appear to suit him better on this sharp track.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.
