Form & Verdict
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.

Seen more often over further these days, but last week still managed to win over C&D for the fifth time; that was a 0-50 classified event and his 4lb penalty means he is 7lb higher than when last successful in a handicap, but he still commands respect.
