Form & Verdict
He can miss the break and/or take a keen hold, but he's just 2lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last July and was a fair sixth of 12 over this C&D last month on his second run after a break; chance.

Nine-time winner who got back on track with a narrow success over C&D (17-2) in January; drawn out wide this time but he's only 2lb higher than for that last run and could be a major force again.

Form & Verdict
His two wins came over C&D in the first third of last year; down the field on Tapeta the last twice but the return to Polytrack looks a likely plus and he's below his last winning mark; firmly in calculations.

None too consistent but both his wins have come over C&D and he does seem well suited by the track; on a good mark back from four months off and a big run would be no surprise, for all his propensity to miss the break is a nagging concern.
