Form & Verdict
Made it 7-18 round here and 6-19 for Joe Leavy when winning over C&D off 2lb lower four weeks ago; there's little margin for error off this mark, coming from a wider stall, but he tries hard and enters the equation.

All eight wins have been at Wolverhampton and he went close in a classified event there (7f) last Tuesday; record of 0-12 on turf but he has placed form in this sphere and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player.
