Not in the same form as he was in May and June last year but he's on a lowly mark now and, after being pushed along from some way out, he did stick well to the task when fourth over C&D (good to firm) recently; form case to be made down in grade.

Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend.
