Form & Verdict
Tapeta winner who proved his stamina when bolting up from the front at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) last September; has made the frame in both starts since, albeit the extended 2m appeared to find him out here last time; has fitness to prove after four months off, but still respected back down to Class 4 level.

Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark.

Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player.

1-19 but has endured some rotten luck, such as when demoted after finishing first past the post here (1m3f) last month; placed in all three starts since including when beaten a neck at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) eight days ago; has run well over this trip on turf and likely to go well again.

Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again.
