Form & Verdict
Consistent this season and was winning for a sixth time when coming out on top at York (5f, good; in this new headgear combination) last Saturday, albeit having raced on the favoured side; only 4lb higher for this drop back into a Class 5 and must go well.

His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does.
