Form & Verdict
Usually ridden patienty but was evidently suited by new tactics when making all for hard-fought success in first-time blinkers at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) this month; no surprise if he makes another bold bid.

Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on.

Never dangerous over 1m2f here last month, after a break, and now 0-11 (including three hurdle runs); might have needed that recent outing but still makes only limited appeal.

Dual winner over this sort of trip in France; not disgraced when fifth of seven on last month's British Flat debut at Chelmsford (2m, AW) but his run over that C&D a fortnight later was disappointing; now drops back in trip with blinkers added.

Back from break with three respectable runs this spring, most recently when sixth in stronger race than this at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft); ought to be better suited by today's quicker ground and has slipped to a good mark; could be hard to beat if change of headgear has positive effect.
