The switch to a nursery and first-time blinkers (retained) did the trick at Naas (5f, soft) where he had a couple of these behind; up 6lb but should go well again, though a drying track may not suit.

Possibly not the most straightforward but it was a big run when second of 15 at Salisbury (6f, good; front pair clear) last Thursday; that was a career best and subsequent 3lb nudge could have been worse; previous third over 5f showed this trip is no bother and he's considered.
