Form & Verdict
19-race maiden; lost out only by a neck off basement mark at Chepstow (2m, good) last summer and probably wasn't suited by the soft ground when well beaten on recent seasonal debut but today's drop back in trip is not an obvious move.

Ran with credit when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) last month and does handle testing ground, but looks better on a faster surface; 5lb lower than for the latest of two wins around this time last year and one for the shortlist.
