Form & Verdict

His mark continues to tumble but he's finished down the field on all three starts this year and a major turnaround is needed.

Form & Verdict

All four wins have come over C&D, the latest last September, and he went close at Southwell in December; on a handy mark but hasn't really threatened over this C&D on his last three starts and he needs to raise his game.
