Thriving for current stable, notching a personal best and beating five of today's rivals in 20-runner race over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he's high on the list again.

Nine-time winner in a fine career but this season has been mainly a struggle and he hasn't beaten a rival on his last two outings; too well handicapped to be ignored completely but he needs to rediscover his spark.
