He has done well since joining this yard, recording his seventh success when narrowly scoring at Lingfield in January (off this mark); mixed form since but he's a C&D winner and can't be discounted.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.
