Sole success (24 races) came in Ireland in 2019; clear best of four runs this season when fifth over 1m4f at Pontefract on second start and he's already 7lb lower; tailed off when he tried cheekpieces last time and it's nearly three years since he tried this sort of trip.

Won this in 2021; tends to be all or nothing these days and his latest C&D fourth at a big price, when getting no peace in front (King Of Unicorns behind), was more like it on his second run back from a break.

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.
