Form & Verdict
Second in this last year; back to best when producing a really smart handicap performance to defy a big weight at the recent Epsom Derby meeting (1m2f, good to firm); cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained; not long in the excellent George Boughey yard and should make a bold bid to go one place better than 12 months ago.

Well beaten in Royal Ascot Listed race last time but had an excuse as he was badly hampered early; before that he won a handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on Oaks day and is not ruled out; versatile ground-wise in the past; makes yard debut having left George Boughey (remains in same ownership).

Form & Verdict
Smart handicap performance when second over an extended 1m2f at Chester (soft) in May; reported to have been unsuited by quick ground and the undulations of Epsom when running poorly behind Cadillac since; something to find and drawn widest.

His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out.

Useful handicapper on his day including on AW, but unplaced in all nine starts since reappearing a year ago and would be receiving weight from all his rivals in a handicap.
