T: John Gallagher

Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner; retains enthusiasm despite his age and he was a close third behind two of these rivals over C&D four weeks ago; good effort at Chepstow 12 days ago but it won't be easy trying to dominate from such a wide draw.
