Form & Verdict
Has not won since September 2021 but he's been placed numerous times this year, including when a staying-on second at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last time; this return to 1m on fast ground is no problem and he has each-way claims again.

Came good for Simon Hodgson at fourth attempt, leading close home at Brighton (1m, good; visored) last month; raced too freely in first-time blinkers there last week but still ran well; has the visor refitted here and this drop back to 7f is an interesting move; might be the answer.
