He's on a handy mark on his form last June/July, when winning over C&D, and a market check is advised on his reappearance; however, he went off the boil last autumn and returns minus cheekpieces (worn when winning).

C&D win in first-time cheekpieces off 5lb lower in June has been boosted by those behind since; latest effort, over further on heavy ground, is probably best ignored and he's one to consider for a yard among the winners over jumps of late.
