Below form the last twice including when well behind Brave Display at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently, but is 2-3 over C&D and drops in grade; could make an impact if first-time blinkers have a positive effect.

Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted.
