Cheekpieces fitted in last three races; won at Catterick and back to form when a clear second at Haydock (2m4f, good); back up 3lb but still well handicapped on old exploits.

Evidently not the force of old but he built on an encouraging C&D reappearance when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February; made early mistakes when a disappointing favourite at Hereford since but it's possible he'll be happier back on a left-handed course and likely he's still on a winnable mark if putting his best foot forward.

Evidently not the force of old but built upon an encouraging reappearance when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (2m3f, soft) a fortnight ago and has good claims here if the headgear continues to aid him.

Only chase win was a four-runner handicap off 11lb higher at Southwell (2m4f, heavy) in February 2024; fair run in a better grade at Haydock last month after a 404-day absence and interesting off his current good mark with cheekpieces tried.

0-9 over fences since winning on his chase debut in February 2024 and absent since that December; however, he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and returns with his stable going well; watch the betting.
