Form & Verdict
Not as good as he was but he has still won two handicaps this year, over 7f at Haydock in July and 6f at Pontefract 17 days ago; disappointed at Ayr last time but the quick turnaround may not have helped; rarely seen on AW over the years but he has shown some aptitude for this surface.
