Took advantage of his career-low mark when beating Donna Nook at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; not so good at Thirsk last time and he is not the easiest to predict.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Linda Perratt

He'd taken a healthy drop in the weights during an AW spell since December and was able to take advantage at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last week; ought to have another handicap in him off this 2lb higher mark but perhaps in a less competitive race than this.

Form & Verdict
0-6 on turf but 2-2 on AW, both wins coming at this track; well backed when landing a C&D handicap four weeks ago and comfortably on top at the finish, for all he took some driving along; should remain competitive despite a 4lb rise.

Tailed off last November when last seen but enjoyed a good season in the main otherwise, winning two in a row in the summer and finishing second over C&D (good) on his penultimate start; his record when fresh in the spring is pretty decent and he's one to consider.
