Form & Verdict
A very useful winning chaser at his best for Alan King but he's offered little for his current yard, tried in cheekpieces when a well-held fourth of six in 3m Huntingdon handicap 23 days ago; others are much preferred.

Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out.

Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in an Irish point and he took a big step forward on his chasing debut when a promising second of ten in 2m5f handicap here three weeks ago; he has more to offer so rates a big player off the same mark.
