Form & Verdict
Well treated on his two C&D wins (good) last autumn and he's been placed at this track in two of his last four starts; hard to rule out a good run but he was never involved on soft ground here last time and that took his losing run to 17.

Form & Verdict
Ended long losing run when coming from off the pace to spring a surprise at Goodwood (1m, heavy; 66-1) last Sunday; that was a comfortable success from out of the weights and he's 2lb lower under a penalty here; major player again if he can repeat that latest form.

Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard.
