Form & Verdict
Best efforts on good/good to soft but he went close on heavy ground in January; scored at Catterick in February and runner-up on three of his four starts since; those good runs were at up to 2m5f and this is his second attempt at 3m, following a heavy defeat at Ayr on final start last term, but reappearance second at Warwick suggests it is well worth another go.

Heavy defeats over 3m/3m1f in the mud on his second and third runs under rules; vastly better in two runs at Bangor since when runner-up over 2m3f (good to soft) and justifying favouritism over 2m7f (good); saw the latter trip out well and brings potential to this handicap/seasonal debut, if he can cope with the ground.
