He has added another three course wins to his tally this year, most recently getting the better of a subsequent winner over this trip in February; not disgraced over 5f three weeks ago and he looks booked for another big run.

Boasts seven course wins, including three on Fibresand, following his recent victory (front pair clear) off 2lb lower; does most racing now over 6f but has a decent record over C&D too and should go well again.
