Form & Verdict
Well beaten last month, after a long layoff, but quickly got back on track with creditable third of ten at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago, where his margin of defeat was magnified by a penultimate-flight jumping error; remains well handicapped on older form and will be fine over today's trip; good chance.

Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces.
