Last won over C&D last May; first-time blinkers (retained) replaced visor for his last two starts and he responded with a creditable third in a classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) on first occasion; tailed off on latest, however, which was a poor show notwithstanding the 1m2f.

Three solid efforts here around the turn of the year; sole win came over 2m3f over hurdles and this longest trip to date on the Flat should be fine; likely player provided he settles better than has sometimes been the case.
