Form & Verdict
The blinkers he's worn lately are missing but he arrives in form, caught wide and doing well in the circumstances when fourth over 9.5f here last month; stamina has to be taken on trust stepping up over 2f in trip but he does leave the impression he'll stay further.

C&D winner who has returned to form with a comfortable success here (9.4f) and a close second at Brighton (1m2f) in his last two runs; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's a key player on this step back up to 1m4f.

Form & Verdict
Few positives to report since joining this yard, including when the subject of market support at Chelmsford last time; however, he remains dangerously well treated (rated 95 just over a year ago) and it'll be interesting to see whether his supporters' return; the hood he had refitted last time is quickly discarded.
