Form & Verdict

He has made good progress this winter, winning four times and running well in defeat on his last three starts, most recently at Lingfield on Tuesday; back up in class today but conditions won't faze him and he's one for the shortlist.

5f on Tapeta no problem and he is now 1lb lower than when seeing off 19 rivals in a 5f handicap at York last summer; has gone well after shorter breaks in the past but he's up against some in-form and match-fit rivals and could prove vulnerable.
