Form & Verdict
Limitations well established as a 9yo but can't fault his recent efforts, second to a well-treated opponent at Ripon before winning by 3l at Pontefract on Sunday (6f, good to firm), a winning margin that appeared unlikely 100 yards from the finish; effective on Tapeta and he should go well despite his penalty.

All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break.
