Form & Verdict
You couldn't set your watch by him but he's operating at a low level now and he retains a chunk of ability, as when coming from off the pace to win in a four-way photo over 6f here last week; has to be played late and he wasn't helping his rider close home last time but this is a lesser race and he's a strong contender.

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.
