Didn't fire in 3m1f race won by Judicial Review here last month and is not one to rely upon but ran big race when third to Defence Witness over C&D (good to soft) in May and has obvious claims if judged on that form.

Three wins over fences and ran well when beaten just over a length into third of seven behind Defence Witness here (2m5f, good to soft) last time; 2lb better off and has won off 1lb higher, but has been pulled up in all three previous attempts beyond 2m5f; stable also runs Unwanted Attention.

Kept on well to collar an idling Beat The Edge and score at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) in February but it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution, and he managed only fifth when back at Sedgefied (2m5f, good) the following month.

Form & Verdict
Tends to run well here and after beating three rivals at Catterick (2m3f, soft) he didn't get home over 3m1f back there five days ago; looks a key player dropped back in distance as handicap mark is very manageable.

On a good mark now (even from 3lb out of the weights) and arrested his decline with fairly good third of seven here (2m1f, good to soft; first-time hood) three weeks ago; however, this quirky customer doesn't always find much when the chips are down and has a modest strike-rate.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in this last year and registered a third course win from the front in November (3lb lower); failed to fire last time at Catterick but a bad mistake didn't help and back here he's respected.
