Last year's heroics were always going to be a tough act to follow but the addition of cheekpieces, allied to a reduced mark, have seen an upturn in his fortunes since June; latest Windsor second (1m, good to firm; stable debut) wasn't far off his best and he's high on the list with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time.
