Form & Verdict

Latest start was his most competitive show since one-year absence; needs to build on that, however, and there's been no win since August 2022; used to go in the mud but he was withdrawn when it was soft ground two weeks ago.

Form & Verdict

Won at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) in August and creditable second at Carlisle (6f, soft) next time; tailed-off favourite at Leicester (6f, heavy) last Tuesday takes the gloss off his appeal, though.

Form & Verdict

Hasn't won since July last year (5f, good to firm) and his soft-ground record is not that persuasive, but he has been second or third (third of seven under Serena Brotherton last time) over 6f on his last three outings.
