Returned to form when landing a Kempton handicap (cheekpieces reapplied) in January; backed that up with a close third over C&D but his form has gone the wrong way since then and he was laboured behind Port Noir here last Monday; headgear is now removed and he has something to prove again.

Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front.

Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her.
