Flopped over C&D 51 days ago when reportedly unsuited by being unable to dominate; he had earlier won twice over C&D this year and he's not impossibly treated; goes without cheekpieces this time.

Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw.

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance.
