Form & Verdict
7-18 at Bath (7-50 overall), his most recent win gained over C&D off 9lb higher last July (good); ran as if still in form without lasting home over 1m6f here last week, and unwise to omit from calculations.

Nine-time course winner, on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; still on workable mark after 3lb rise for last month's C&D success and encountered traffic when only ninth on heavy ground here 11 days ago but, nevertheless, he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface.

Bossed a 2m Lingfield Polytrack handicap in November, the last time Marco Ghiani was up; 9lb lower mark now than then owed to some drubbings since, including when not settling in a hood latest (now ditched).

Last month's half-length Nottingham third (1m2f, good) rated season's-best form and gave another hint he could have something to offer up in trip (stuck out wide on one attempt at 1m4f); remains on a career-low mark.
