Form & Verdict

A dual winner at Wolverhampton in January but drops into a seller after coming in last of six (in first-time cheekpieces) in 1m2f handicap at Salisbury last month; needs to bounce back.

Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added.
