Has won twice here over 5f, the most recent coming in April, and ran well at Thirsk (6f, good) last time in a race he won the previous year; however, he's now having a rare start over 7f and it isn't sure to suit.

Any number of defeats at short prices to go with a single win; blown plenty of easier openings this year, often in sprints, and again looked to have no excuses from the same stall in a C&D 0-50 classified event last time.

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.
