Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces.

Both wins have been over C&D, the latest in returning cheekpieces; has gone off the boil since and headgear is reinstated after two runs without; interesting if this has the desired effect.
