Fitting of cheekpieces sparked a revival in December, when landing a fifth success over fences at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft); followed that up with a career-best RPR when third off this mark there (2m5f) the following month; respected but he'll need to leave behind a lesser effort last time.

Has his share of off days but the new cheekpieces floated his boat when making all at Ascot before Christmas (2m3f, good to soft) and again when third there a month ago, perhaps stretched by the 2m5f on soft; off the same mark as that day he has to be feared.

Far from reliable but he's a classy chaser on his day, as he showed when making all under a dynamic ride over 2m3f here just before Christmas; the cheekpieces need to work for a second time and he's unproven over this longer distance, but he still can't be ruled out if on another going day.
