Three 1m wins this season and he went desperately close at Chester 16 days ago (7.5f, soft); only 1lb higher here and Ben Curtis is a positive booking; one to take seriously.

Form & Verdict
Finally gained some reward for some consistent efforts when storming home to lead late on and beat Blue Collar Lad by half a length over C&D a fortnight ago; that wasn't too bad a race for the grade (fourth won the other day) and a 2lb nudge may not stop him.

Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade.

Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted.

Came good for Simon Hodgson at fourth attempt, leading close home at Brighton (1m, good; visored) last month; raced too freely in first-time blinkers there last week but still ran well; has the visor refitted here and this drop back to 7f is an interesting move; might be the answer.
