Form & Verdict
On a recovery mission after dropping out tamely in a 2m4f handicap at Sandown but he was only 4-1 for that after going close in non-handicaps here (1m7f, heavy) and at Kempton (2m, good); he's a bit of a standout on those pieces of form and cheekpieces are unlikely to do him any harm.
