Form & Verdict
No show in two of his three starts last autumn but he appeared to show modest form at Redcar (1m1f, heavy) in between, despite finishing sixth of seven; gelded since latest; stamina in the family (he's a half-brother to smart stayer Coltrane) suggests he could be seen in a much more positive light today on handicap/seasonal debut.

Patchy campaign this season and needs to raise his game, but he's dropped down the weights and last year's best efforts came in blinkers, which go back on this evening (replacing cheekpieces); not discounted.
