Form & Verdict
Dual course winner (1m2f) but his last success was almost two years ago; handicap mark has been in freefall since returning in October and there has only been the occasional flash of promise; finished third here (1m, good to soft) last time but was beaten 4l after another slow start in that race and others are preferred.

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance.

0-6 but he's finished placed in his last two starts it was a near-miss in a Nottingham handicap (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; up 2lb but he has a progressive profile and should have more to offer at this trip; key player.
