All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider.

Well held on all three outings since returning from a break but the last two were on turf and he's much better on AW (6-10); down to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton in March and Jack Doughty takes 5lb off; a revival would come as no surprise.

Form & Verdict
Had a very productive spell since joining this yard, gaining six wins between January and April; struggled for form in the summer/autumn but the refitting of a visor (retained) saw him bounce back to form from out of the blue to win at Southwell (1m4f) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty to carry but retains handicapping scope on his form earlier in the year.
