In a good run of form and although hunted down by Tribal Wisdom over C&D two starts ago he has a weights turnaround with that one and was a good, if narrow, winner under Joe Leavy here since (first-time cheekpieces, retained); likely contender.

1-26, the success over three years ago; drop back in trip (and refitted cheekpieces) coincided with overdue return to form, when a closing third to Dinah Myte (Barleybrown second) over C&D 23 days ago; his odds will be shorter now, but whether he'll back it up is questionable.
