Up 13lb for his last two wins but has defied this mark in the past

Last two efforts were not his best but he can't be discounted off current mark

All five wins have come on left-handed tracks so that's a concern, as is his inconsistency

Timely return to form last week at Southwell (3m, good) when beaten 4l by one in form
