Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way.

Form & Verdict
Often flattered to deceive for Henry Candy but he has fallen in the weights and shaped quite well when third of nine over 6f at Southwell on stable debut; led briefly over 1f out that day and could be well suited by this drop back in distance; interesting.
