Form & Verdict

All three wins came as a 2yo, including a soft-ground nursery over C&D; was capable of far superior form back then but this year hasn't been a complete washout by any means and he went close on the AW last week; has a lot more going for him than many of these.

Form & Verdict

Can make a case on last year's competitive form (albeit none of it was on soft ground; good to soft seems okay) but he's looked cold as ice on the AW during a very quiet last 12 months.

Remains a maiden after 13 goes but a repeat of his penultimate close third on soft ground at Beverley shouldn't see him far away; however, not harsh to have expected better from him on the Tapeta last time.

None too consistent but has won two of his last three and retains plenty of enthusiasm for a fight, as he showed when digging deep on the AW 15 days ago (8.6f); has had very little racing in the mud but one of his best RPRs was on soft ground three years ago.
