Won back-to-back races here in the autumn including over C&D and running well in defeat since; shaped like he would appreciate a return to 7f last time; still feasibly treated.

Form & Verdict

Solid form in defeat here last winter before landing a maiden on turf; not at that level since returning to all-weather in October; doesn't look well treated on recent AW form.

Form & Verdict

Gained a second C&D win when beating a well handicapped rival by 1l in November; form boosted since and he should give another good account from 6lb higher if ready after a three-month absence.
