Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work.
