Yet to win over fences or in handicap company but needs respect dropped into a class 4.

Back to form in blinkers latest and likely to play a leading role if headgear works again.

Better ground sparked first chase win in March; heavy fall since; still open to progress.

Signs of a revival last time and he could be suited by switch to fences.

Pulled up latest when drop in trip should have suited; earlier form gives place claims.
