Form & Verdict
Has the form to be a strong contender but he'd probably appreciate further ideally and needs to bounce back from a couple of quiet runs; on the plus side the return of cheekpieces may help as, although their effect wore thin last year, he did win when they were first applied.

Had looked exposed but the drop back to 6f saw him land a 6f Class 5 event at Lingfield 11 days ago; only 2lb higher and although he's drawn wide, he is likely to be dropped in; could rate higher as a sprinter.

Form & Verdict
Both wins and best form are in Class 5 company, notably when much too good for a solid yardstick over Sandown's 7f three weeks ago; 4lb rise is by no means the end of the world for an in-form 3yo.

Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark.

Sole win came on Tapeta last year; two good thirds this term (Polytrack/turf); weak in the betting and failed to land a blow two runs back from a break recently, with 1m2f against him latest; may do better in reapplied headgear.

Has a record of 1-12 and his form has gone backwards in four starts this season; the reapplied tongue-tie has worked for him before and his only run in cheekpieces was on unsuitable soft ground, so this headgear combination might work.
