Second win (23 races) was a Leicester classified last month; there are plenty of poor runs in his record but he followed that win with a creditable second of seven in handicap at Brighton (again coming from the rear over 6f on good to firm) ten days ago; considered.

Form & Verdict
Sole win from 12 starts came at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January on penultimate outing for James Owen; comparable form in two of six turf races since for new yard and not totally disgraced on latest, so he's not entirely ruled out despite not being proven over quite this far.
