Form & Verdict
Won 1m2f turf handicap for Tom Ward last summer and hinted at a possible return to form for new stable before fading into fifth in Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f) in November; didn't fire there 12 days ago but still makes some appeal in this grade.

Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal.
