Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April and fared okay back over 6f there (fourth) next time; however, he has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last three appearances (5f-7f) which suggests that he'll find life tough, particularly from this wide draw.

His first two runs for this yard were encouraging enough but he's not landed a blow in two runs over 6f since cheekpieces went on; continues to drop in the weights and he should get a strong pace to run at here; still looks vulnerable for win purposes though.
