Form & Verdict
Often been inclined to pull hard and did so again, on his second try at beyond sprint trips and in first-time blinkers (retained), 11 days ago; this mark should be within range but he'll need to be more amenable early from a wide stall.

Heavily backed when making a successful handicap debut over C&D in March; hasn't added to that success in six runs since but he's run well in blinkers on his last two starts (7f) and he should be in the shake up for a stable in fine form.

Wins have all come over 6f and doesn't often run over further these days, but gets away with 7f; whether stamina will hold from the outside stall is a question but he doesn't arrive in much form in any case for a yard also responsible for Jr Climbs.
