Form & Verdict
Showed speed when fair fifth over 6f at Ayr two starts ago and this drop back to 5f is worth a go; however, he has a patchy profile and poor strike-rate, and is 3lb out of the handicap today; others are safer.

His form has gone the wrong way since his win at Beverley last July but he's dropped down the weights and was an encouraging fourth off this mark over C&D (good) last week, when his low draw perhaps didn't help; chance.

Improved form to win two in a row last December (6f/5f, AW) and continued in good form early this year; returns from a break and he's 1-14 on turf as opposed to 5-19 on AW, but that grass win came last August and matched his AW form at the time; possibilities on return to action.
