Form & Verdict
In career-best form over 5f this summer, winning at Sandown (good) before good fourth at Newmarket (good to firm); his last three efforts have been slightly disappointing, though, and his hopes are pinned on a change of headgear (first-time blinkers for cheekpieces) sparking a revival.
