C&D winner last summer (good to firm) and he added to his haul with a ready win at Southwell (1m, AW) in December; chased home Timely Affair back at Southwell three weeks ago (1m) but while he is 4lb better off today, he wouldn't be sure to reverse the placings (raced awkwardly under pressure).

Two wins in first season as a 3yo included a beating of the two clear market leaders plus Spirit Of Bowland over C&D in December; modest return to action under same conditions last month but could leave that behind today; Jason Hart, who gets aboard him for the first time, is 1-1 for the trainer.

Form & Verdict
Showed much improved form to get off the mark in a similar contest at Ffos Las (33-1) last month and followed up smoothly in a handicap over that same C&D (1m, good) on Wednesday; tongue-tie was enlisted for those two starts; he has to be on the shortlist.

J: Billy Loughnane

Dual turf winner but has mixed record since his emphatic win at Ffos Las (1m, good) last August; didn't live up to market expectations on Doncaster reappearance (good to soft) 12 days ago but he missed the break and may have needed that run; should be sharper this time and has possibilities if he can rediscover his spark.

Made it 2-4 on turf with an emphatic win at Ffos Las (1m, good) last August; ended last year with a major blip at Newcastle but that was after two seconds at that track; regular tongue-tie is missing on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and should get a good pace to aim at on this drop to 7f; one to keep an eye on.
