Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered.

Form & Verdict
6f win at Newmarket last summer and also ran well over 7f at Wolverhampton in November (off 2lb lower); sent to David Pipe for a hurdling career but that was quickly aborted after he pulled far too hard at Taunton in December; still has potential back on the Flat for a yard in good form.

Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor.

Form & Verdict
He had undergone wind surgery prior to making a winning reappearance at Catterick nine days ago (well backed), always near the pace before running on strongly to win by daylight; 2lb well in under a penalty and conditions won't be a bother having won his maiden over C&D; obvious chance.
