Form & Verdict
Ran on from the back on first attempt at 1m2f and built on that promise when winning by 7l in a 16-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last Wednesday, always prominent; that was an apprentice race, so he can run off the same mark today; great chance if he's in the same form.

Form & Verdict
