Has looked in good nick since returning from wind surgery; however, he was close up behind Caughtinyourtrance here last month and he's 8lb higher now after winning a Class 3 handicap over 3m5f here two days later by 7.5l (Fairlawn Flyer third); he's still a major player with James Murray, aboard last time, again up top.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with C&D (soft) win from off the pace in refitted cheekpieces last month, his second course success; it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the same mood or have the race run to suit again today but he's still unexposed over this sort of trip under rules.

On a career-low mark but very evident that he's not the force of old and the return of cheekpieces did nothing last time; perhaps blinkers will help, as they did aboard the stable's Cheltenham winner Martator.
