Form & Verdict
Won twice over 5f on soft/heavy at Hamilton last August and ran well on his return when beaten a neck at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last month; rain would be in his favour, as is the return to a stiff track; has the widest stall, but that could be an advantage of they come stands' side; stable also runs Never Dark.

All his best form including three wins has come on soft/good to soft so rain would be welcome, but he hasn't been seen in seven months and needed his reappearance last year; may be best watched on this occasion.
