Back to form in this headgear combination and he's the one to beat if taking to Chelmsford

Recent form reads well but settling him will be key back up to 2m

2-2 here, his second 1m6f win came 12 days ago; 2m surely okay but this is tougher

Regular winner in small fields over 2m on Polytrack; career-high mark but can't discount

Did best in real blanket finish last time; more is needed but has had just six starts
