Form & Verdict
Seven time winner including four on AW but it has been just over a year since the last of those; however, ran a cracker over C&D on return from a break, just denied and a repeat of that off 2lb higher will put him right there again.

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip.
