Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid.

Form & Verdict
Beat only one home on AW debut but did well to be under 4l away at Doncaster (6f, good) given how hard he pulled, with a late stumble not helping either; won't mind dropping back to 5f.
