Form & Verdict

Has modest 1-20 strike-rate but was denied a clear run when respectable fourth (subsequently promoted to third) at Redcar (1m, good) last month and a recent 1lb drop helps; each-way claims at least.

Form & Verdict

Quite useful in his prime but hasn't won since October 2020; runner-up over 7f twice last month (claimer/handicap) but does not have a good record at this track and younger rivals have more appealing profiles.
