Form & Verdict
Inconsistent and well beaten at Carlisle last month; however, he won a big-field handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May and will be a major player if rediscovering that form; also effective on soft/good to soft.

Lightly raced and not at his best in the last two seasons, but he was a fair fifth of eight at Carlisle (1m, good) last time and slow ground could aid his cause today, with his last win coming on good to soft; continues to drop down the weights and he's an interesting contender.
