Form & Verdict
For an habitual slow starter who needs things to set up favourably for him, he has done extremely well to win ten races, three of them at this track; running creditably of late and each-way claims again provided they don't dawdle early on.

Dual winner here (7f/1m2f) who is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield in November, but he is a hold-up performer who likes to come late off a strong pace and it won't be easy picking his way through this field.

Form & Verdict
Losing run stands at 23 but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he went close to ending the drought over C&D last month, picked off in the dying strides; less convincing in a Class 5 over 7f 16 days ago but should fare better today.

Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.
