Won twice over shorter trips last summer and he's back to the same mark as for his easy 6f win at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) one year ago; hasn't found his best form so far this year, including with cheekpieces back on last time (absent today); stays 1m but needs a full revival.

Three wins and a second from ten starts at Kempton; not at his best the last twice but his mark is tumbling and the return of cheekpieces (tried twice before and he finished second on both occasions) could revive his fortunes.
