Form & Verdict
Early struggles for this yard but he plummeted down the weights and he's back in the groove now, following his Wolverhampton win 12 days ago with an even more authoritative success here on Saturday (1m); well in under a penalty and obvious chance to complete a quick hat-trick.

Just one win from 29 starts but he was useful in his younger days and he made a bold bid when a close third off a tumbling mark at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last Saturday; now makes his Tapeta debut but he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form.
