Form & Verdict
Big improver in AW handicaps for new trainer this spring, completing a 7f hat-trick when seeing off nine rivals at Southwell 26 days ago; has to prove that his progress hasn't been totally surface related but he had plenty in hand last time and could still be well treated even after a 9lb rise; likely to stay 1m.
