Another good run when unable to lay a glove on a front-runner last time at Haydock

Back-to-back course wins, never far away either time and prevailing narrowly

When finishing last at Pontefract 13 days ago he took a wide early route which backfired

Novice winner; not shown much in handicaps and quirks haven't gone unnoticed

Opposable on this season's form and cheekpieces did nothing for him latest

Softening ground fine but he's not progressing or straightforward; now visored

Third at Wetherby in May but two lesser efforts followed; not that convincing
