Well beaten on fast ground last month but he won on turf last year (good going) and returned to form with a win in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; a 3lb rise could prove lenient if he can repeat that latest form; cheekpieces remain, usual tongue-tie is left off.

From a family that has served connections well and he's thrived since handicapping, winning twice over 7f at Kempton either side of a third-place finish over 6f; that defeat was more a reflection of his poor track position, rather than a lack of speed, and a stiff 6f should suit well; up 8lb in a better race but he's one to consider.
