Form & Verdict
Returned from a 709-day absence with a good fourth at Kempton last month (7f) but he hasn't built on it in two runs over further since; drops back to 7f and, perhaps more significantly, has a hood refitted; not ruled out off a dangerous mark.

Mixed form since returning from long absence March but he got back in the groove when scoring over C&D (hood reapplied) two weeks ago; 3lb higher from wide draw this time but he remains well treated on old form and has claims if he can back up that last run.

Form & Verdict
All five of his wins have come at Chelmsford, the latest off this mark last October; good second here on his penultimate start and he ran creditably in a competitive race over C&D on Good Friday (raced too freely); should find this being run to suit and he's more appealing than many.
