Form & Verdict
Disappointing favourite when dropped back to 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and now 0-9 on AW but went very close off today's mark over C&D two starts ago, and that form has been franked by the bang-in-form winner since.

Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip.
