Both wins over C&D but well below best in recent starts, including on Wolverhampton AW last week (tongue-tie added) where he's gone close in the past; return to form badly needed.

Both wins have come over 5f at Chelmsford, the latest in a classified event in February; well beaten on his last four starts, however, and hopes appear to rest on the addition of a tongue-tie perking him up; betting useful.

6f Polytrack winner whose better AW efforts have been on Tapeta, including when scoring decisively at Wolverhampton (5f) latest; 4lb rise suggests he's still well treated if he can transfer that form back to this surface.
