J: Olivia Tubb

T: Jonathan Portman

For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade.

Successful over this trip on Polytrack at Lingfield in December and mostly creditable efforts since, including second back at Lingfield (1m2f again) last time; just as effective on turf (won at Goodwood off 1lb lower last summer); acts on soft; has to enter calculations.
