Form & Verdict
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.

Often front-runner; doubled his tally over this C&D when winning in first-time cheekpieces in April but he's struggled in both starts since; others look stronger.

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.
