Arrives in top form, 2nd on last three starts (including C&D); should go well once more

Reliable 4yo; 3rd behind Signcastle City over C&D two weeks ago; new headgear this time
8 (8)	Chola Empire Bay J:Luke Morris T:David Simcock	J:Luke Morris T:David Simcock	130	—	2-5335	70	85	74	6d	—	—	-1	12.1	15/2 12%

4lb rise for latest Southwell win is fair enough; the 7th furlong looks a bigger concern

Not found his best form so far this winter; good mark if change of headgear revives him

Finished behind Signcastle City at Lingfield last time and still to convince he needs 7f

Ready Kempton win in October hasn't proved to be a springboard to better things
