Form & Verdict
All six of his wins have been over 7f on AW, with the most recent coming at Kempton in January off a mark 2lb higher than today's; ran well over that C&D following an 84-day break last time (hood discarded, as today) and now drops in grade; the return to 1m is a concern.

Four wins this year and he has found another burst of improvement for the addition of cheekpieces, winning 1m handicaps at Pontefract and Musselburgh either side of a C&D second (behind Arctician); another 3lb higher but should make a bold bid.
