Doesn't often find the races being run to suit on AW but he did manage to win at Wolverhampton in March when dropped into a Class 5; less good in better races since but going back down in grade will help.

Soft ground perhaps not ideal on his handicap debut at Redcar three weeks ago (1m2f); cheekpieces now reached for and he has fewer convictions than most.

Five-race maiden who came closest to winning when beaten a neck at Newcastle (1m, AW; first-time cheekpices) ten days ago; races off the same mark and blinkers now given a go, so one for the shortlist if able to reproduce that form back on turf.

Had a purple patch on the AW around the turn of the year, winning three times over 1m; back to his last winning mark and he might not face much pace pressure in this field; big run on the cards.

Form & Verdict
In rude health earlier in the year, coming from off the pace to win 7f handicaps at Southwell (twice) and this track; now 1lb lower than for the latest of them but he has gone off the boil more recently; returning to a Class 5 can help.

All seven wins have been on Tapeta, including four over C&D; very well treated on his best form last winter but he's been out of sorts in last eight runs and needs a major revival back from four months off.
