Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival.

Progressive gelding who has won four of his last eight starts and was a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip.

Justified favouritism at Southwell most recently, making it three wins from his last four starts and taking strike-rate since November to 5-11; has a particularly good record at Wolverhampton in that period; progressing well with age and warrants respect off bottom weight upped further in class.
