Form & Verdict
In good form over staying trips on Tapeta since the autumn and was a C&D winner in December; lost out only narrowly to Mamdoh over C&D last month and did not have the race run to suit when dropped back to 1m4f at Lingfield recently; on a workable mark and has a big role to play.

Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January).

Unable to justify warm favouritism when only fifth of eight on debut in December (1m3f) and two heavy defeats have followed (1m3f/1m4f) but he remains very unexposed and it will be interesting to view his market strength before this handicap debut.
