Back in good form in refitted blinkers last month; still on a workable mark; shortlisted

Finished well for narrow C&D win in May but two lesser efforts have followed

Placed off 4lb higher on AW in January; can be dangerous if fully tuned up after break

Unlucky not to be closer than fourth at Bath recently but still makes only limited appeal
