Posted career-best performance when surprise 6f winner at Sha Tin in January and also ran very well when seventh over 7f last month, but is on a tough mark now and today's drop in trip is not sure to suit. |

Worked his way back into form this season and is now seriously starting to suggest another victory is near; up another 2lb for latest near miss but he did place off higher marks last season; claims. |

In good nick this season, scoring in three of his seven starts; fifth on his sole Class 2 start in January so more is needed for win purposes today. |

Placed twice over 6f at Sha Tin since his narrow 5f win there in September but seems to have gone off the boil lately, and the addition of cheekpieces (retained) didn't appear to help much last time. |
