Form & Verdict
Sole win was in a Wolverhampton novice 15 months ago but he's well handicapped on his best form and was a close second with a hood added over C&D last month; that was from a tough draw and he's a key player if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Made it 3-10 on AW when scoring here (1m) last month and he backed that up with a staying-on third over C&D last month; his form cooled at Chelmsford (1m) last time but he may have done too much too soon and is respected back at this trip; cheekpieces worn on penultimate run are reapplied.

All four wins have come over this trip and he wasn't far off his best when a close third at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) three weeks ago; that was an eyecatching effort from off the pace and he looks interesting off an unchanged mark.

1m4f winner when trained in France; it's been tough going for this yard but there was much more promise when a keeping-on sixth over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; going back up in distance can help and this drop into 0-55 company also likely to be beneficial; check betting.
