Form & Verdict
Didn't show much on turf, but has won a couple of 0-50 classified events over 1m3f/1m4f on the AW this year; soft ground would make this more of a test, but even so he has plenty to prove over this much shorter trip; stable also runs Come To Pass.

Made an encouraging return from six months off at Southwell (7f, AW) in February, but disappointed next time; 6lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) a year ago, but could probably do with the ground drying out and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina.
