Form & Verdict
Record of 1-19 and his win was in a Chelmsford maiden 21 months ago; good second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run, but he failed to beat a rival back there last week and needs to bounce back again after that laboured effort.

Both wins have come on Tapeta and he returned to form with a close third over C&D last Thursday; that was an eyecatching effort from off the pace and he's a big player if he can back that up.
