Not looked back since the visor went on, winning his first five including three here (1m2f-1m4f); only just missed out in a 1m4f handicap here 19 days ago and a 3lb rise shouldn't be too damaging.

Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood.
