Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally.

Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f); still looks feasibly treated on that form but he didn't shine back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and that took his overall record to 1-28; mixed messages.
