Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Generally struggled for the Cole yard and has regressed for current connections; withdrawn on account of unsuitable firm ground here recently, which wouldn't bode well, and doesn't make much appeal anyway.
