Form & Verdict
Won a Lingfield AW selling handicap last time (1m4f, headgear left off); two creditable runs in low-grade 1m4f handicaps on turf/AW prior to that; soft ground a concern (best on good/good to firm) but a chance if it dries.

Mixed signals as to whether he truly stays 1m6f at Redcar the last twice, and this 2f shorter trip might be closer to what's required for now; mark looking ever more exploitable following a further 2lb ease.
