C&D win last month came in good style; wouldn't crab him for latest Goodwood effort; solid

Struggled in handicaps but down in weights, returns to 5f and has a new tongue-tie today

Has his optimum conditions and missed out by just a nose three weeks ago; solid claims

C&D win in April; not ideally drawn on last two starts; others may be better treated now

Dangerous mark but he's been quiet in recent runs and slower ground preferable
