Unplaced in all seven runs and has often blown the start, but although he didn't lose so much ground at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) nine days ago he could still only manage sixth of 11; others more solid.

Form & Verdict
Has had problems with the stalls but has nonetheless shown improvement since stepping up to 7f and contesting handicaps, finishing runner-up a Newcastle and Southwell the last twice; not sure the drop in trip is in his favour, but he comes into this in some sort of form which counts for plenty.
