Four-time winner who can be slowly away; made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) off 5lb lower in January and wasn't beaten far when fourth at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last time; up in grade now back on turf and this smaller field probably isn't ideal for him due to his hold-up style, but he holds place claims.

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again.
