Five-time winner at up to 2m (including good to soft; placed twice over C&D on a sound surface); form tailed off last season when with Mark Walford and was a long last on last Saturday's reappearance at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft); more needed.

Current mark reflects a general decline in his form, latterly for new stable; has not won for nearly two years; addition of tongue-tie needs to give him a boost.

Patchy campaign this season and needs to raise his game, but he's dropped down the weights and last year's best efforts came in blinkers, which go back on this evening (replacing cheekpieces); not discounted.
