Form & Verdict
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11.

Drawn a blank since AW debut success but was placed over this trip on turf (good/good to firm) off higher marks last season; hard to get too excited by this winter's AW efforts but it's possible an eight-week break could have had a reviving effect; one to note in the betting.

Lightly raced before finding his stride upped in trip on AW this winter, winning three of his last four starts (Southwell/Kempton) and beaten a nose in the other; all those were 1m3f but the style of them, launching late bids, gives clear scope for further improvement over this extra 1f if he's as effective on turf.
