Form & Verdict
Well treated on his two C&D wins (good) last autumn and he's been placed at this track in two of his last four starts; hard to rule out a good run but he was never involved on soft ground here last time and that took his losing run to 17.

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible.

Form & Verdict
Ended long losing run when coming from off the pace to spring a surprise at Goodwood (1m, heavy; 66-1) last Sunday; that was a comfortable success from out of the weights and he's 2lb lower under a penalty here; major player again if he can repeat that latest form.
