Form & Verdict
Won three times on turf last summer, the latest over C&D (good to firm); has won on soft ground and this mark didn't look beyond him when a close third of ten at Leicester (5f, good) in October, but he hasn't been seen since and has no great record fresh.

Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing.

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up.

Form & Verdict
Losing run up to 14, but he nearly ended the drought on his Doncaster return (5f, soft) 13 days ago, just getting caught after attempting to make all; 2lb higher, but he doesn't have to lead and a major player if stepping forward from that effort.

Well into the veteran stage now but he showed he's still got some ammunition left when a 40-1 winner of 17-runner Doncaster handicap (5f, good to soft) on his March reappearance; only eighth of 11 at Carlisle on his sole subsequent start, however, and he'll need to prove that win wasn't his last hurrah.
