Similar type to Oh Herberts Reign, being on a two-year losing run; however, went very close in amateur events here (9.5f/8.5f) the last twice, suggesting his turn is near; good chance in current form.

Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival.

All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.
