Form & Verdict
Has not been with Jennie Candlish for long and was fair third off reduced mark over 7f here (40-1) last time; this drop back in trip is no problem but his record now stands at 1-19 and he's not easy to predict; others look more solid.

Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered.

Won three on the spin (6f-7f) here in the spring, all when Jack Doughty was still claiming 3lb, and went up 9lb in the weights; possible the handicapper has caught up now on the evidence of his latest C&D fourth a month ago and needs more.

Got back on track with a comfortable win at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) 13 days ago and he overcame trouble when following up at Brighton (5.3f, good) last Tuesday; only 2lb higher under another penalty here and he's a major player again back up in trip.
