Form & Verdict
No joy on first 13 starts but he scored over C&D (ridden prominently) at turn of the year and followed up at Kempton (1m3f; made all) in February, both in clearcut fashion; back up another 5lb but something has clicked and another bold show seems likely from today's low draw.

Polytrack hat-trick at 1m3f/1m4f this time last year (made all leg two/made most leg three); all but one of his starts since has been over 2m or over hurdles and he hasn't been finishing his races off, including following wind surgery last time.

Form & Verdict
Won six of his first seven outings for this yard (1m3f/1m4f, including over C&D) before a steadily run race may have played against him on latest start, still not discredited; peak form (penultimate start, Kempton) gives him a big shout.
