Tailed off at Fontwell last month (favourite), which takes some forgiving; won at the same track on previous outing and soft ground also no hardship so enters the argument if he can leave behind the latest flop.

Form & Verdict
In good form last summer, with two AW wins in June and a C&D success in August (well backed); just two runs since and not much to show for them, pulled up on chasing debut latest (after wind surgery); not out of the question but something to prove for now.

Quickened clear to win readily over C&D (good) in June but safely held off revised mark twice since; recent 2lb drop helps and Sam Twiston Davies is back on board for first time since that latest success but he may remain a shade vulnerable nevertheless.

First worthwhile piece of form when a clear runner-up at Fontwell from 12lb out of the weights; only went down by 2l and the winner seems a reliable yardstick for the grade, so off 2lb higher here he looks a player.
