Headed to Ascot (3m, good) four weeks ago with a record of 4-5 over fences and that day he beat all bar a formidable rival in Chianti Classico; 1lb nudge could have been worse but some cause for concern is that five of his six career wins have been on right-handed tracks.

Will need his best form yet off this career-high mark but he's 4-5 over fences, goes particularly well on right-handed tracks and his record fresh is a further positive; might still be on fair terms with the handicapper given potential for further improvement.
