Form & Verdict
Tends to start slowly but has been in fine form lately, gaining back-to-back wins at Newcastle before three straight second-place finishes, one of them over C&D; didn't get a clear run when failing by just a short head at Newcastle latest; edging up the weights but is back down from Class 4; should go well.
