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.

Bright start when placed in three qualifying runs, including when making all at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March; has found life tougher in handicaps since, returning from a gelding operation to finish last of eight at Yarmouth 15 days ago; his stable has suddenly found some form but his claims aren't obvious.
