Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance.

Sole win over an extended 1m1f on the AW in February but he stays much further and wasn't beaten by a lack of stamina when third at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers, retained) last week; acts on good to soft and major claims down in grade.

Form & Verdict
All three wins at about 1m4f on AW and turf (good and soft) last spring but he hasn't been in comparable form since back from a break in the autumn and was reported to be lame on latest start in April; he was only 7-2 that day, though, so a revival was clearly expected; market helpful.

Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D.
