Ended long losing run when scoring off 1lb lower at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) in November; some creditable efforts since but his form nosedived at Southwell 11 days ago and he needs to bounce back from that heavy defeat.

Form & Verdict
Uncompetitive in his qualifying runs over 1m but, sent off favourite, it was no surprise to see him leave all that behind when upped to 1m4f for his handicap debut at Lingfield on Saturday when he won by more than 4l; 5lb well in despite the penalty and he looks the standout contender with further improvement to come; has raced only on the AW but bred to be as effective on turf.

Both career wins on Polytrack by over 4l, the first here and the second at Chelmsford last month; perhaps unsuited by bigger field and reportedly ran flat when finishing last in race won by Solution latest; cheekpieces could help him to bounce back.

In fine form on Tapeta early last year including a win over C&D; not shown much in three starts at Kempton since returning from 341 days off in May, but now 2lb below last winning mark; return to this surface may help.

Below best in two starts here since returning from 11-month break but back on his last winning mark and Richard Kingscote takes over from a 7lb claimer; interesting with cheekpieces refitted for the first time this year (latest four wins in them).

Form & Verdict
Stayed on well to go down by just a neck in six-runner handicap at Bath (2m1f, good; third run for this yard) and Pontefract perhaps came too soon only eight days later; freshened up since and could go well.

Added a sixth point win in May and has been giving it a good go back on the Flat since, including when fourth of 13 behind an improver at Bath (2m1f, good) last time; still unexposed on AW and has possibilities if he can transfer his form back to this sphere.

Added a sixth point win in May and has been giving it a good go back on the Flat since, keeping on stoutly into third of nine to Triple Nickle at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) recently; his proven stamina makes him a big player.
