Off the mark at Lingfield (11.6f) five days ago, justifying favouritism in good style

Reliable sort who's been 2nd on AW last four outings, which is his best form; new headgear

AW may excuse his two runs last winter for Alexandra Dunn; another trainer change since

Well held 15 days (without cheekpieces, which now return) and perhaps needed that run
