Form & Verdict
Goes well at Bath and returned to winning form there (5f, good to firm) last month before a solid third of 16 (5.7f, good to soft) ten days later; beaten a short head in one previous go over this C&D, but his high draw makes things tricky.

Tremendous servant with 11 wins for his current yard and three for his previous stable; usually runs over 5f but has won over C&D; finds it tough on the top tracks nowadays but was runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month and looks on a workable mark.
