Form & Verdict
Won off 4lb lower at Wetherby (5.5f, good) last month but he's been well below that form in both runs since (turf/Tapeta); has bit to prove again and he needs to bounce back near best; stablemate of Jojo Rabbit.

Can miss the break and is often ridden from off the pace (every chance she will be again from stall 12); notched a third C&D win when taking a small-field affair against her own sex off 2lb lower in April; slight drop-off latest and has to bounce back.

0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light.
