Form & Verdict
Former course winner; out of the frame on his last three outings but he didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Lingfield on his latest start ten weeks ago and his mark has come down again; no shock were he to go well in first-time blinkers.

Good C&D record since joining this yard and ran well at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark on his most recent AW outing; fair run off his lower turf mark at Doncaster four weeks ago; could yet rate higher on this surface.

Recorded his eighth AW win when completing a double at Newcastle (1m) in March; came up short at Lingfield last time but that was another good effort in a valuable handicap on Good Friday; now returns to turf but he's still lightly raced in this sphere and is 11lb lower than last time; not ruled out.
