Won after a break at Southwell in December (1m4f handicap; first-time visor) and has continued the good work, latterly with the cheekpieces back on; the return of a visor is no bad thing and he needs considering.

Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close.

0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus.
