Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who is not easy to predict but he scored at Windsor (11,4f, good) in June and got back near that level with a staying-on third at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) 12 days ago; has form on fast ground over C&D and could make a big impact if he gets a good pace.

A two-time winner last season; resumed from six months off with an encouraging sixth of 12 in 1m4f handicap at Pontefract last month, challenging wide; that form has been well advertised since so this C&D scorer merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark.
