Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Often flattered to deceive for Henry Candy but he has fallen in the weights and shaped quite well when third of nine over 6f at Southwell on stable debut; led briefly over 1f out that day and could be well suited by this drop back in distance; interesting.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.
