Form & Verdict

J: Jim Crowley

T: Ian Williams

Multiple 6f AW winner who is 0-16 on turf, where his better efforts have been on slow ground; AW form has tailed off recently and he looks in need of a revivial if he's to break his turf duck.

His last turf success came over this C&D (good) but back in April 2022; this is his level now but others are more appealing for win purposes.

Five AW wins but losing run is mounting up; needs a fast pace to aim at and is slipping down the weights; likely to come good again one of these days.

Won a C&D maiden for Charles Hills a year ago, but well held in four starts since returning for this yard in November; down in grade, but still hard to recommend.

Comes into this in red-hot form having won his last five starts on the AW, the latest when dead-heating with Recon Mission at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; meets him on the same terms and has winning form over C&D, so hard to rule out despite a 7lb higher mark and rise in grade.

Favourably treated and drops into a Class 6 for the first time since April 2021; beaten just over a length into fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last time, but record of 1-20 on AW is a concern.

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company.
