Form & Verdict
Might not be totally straightforward but he won a shade cosily at Windsor (6f) last June and it was a good effort when fourth of 12 over C&D (also good to firm) on his penultimate run; similar ground was blamed for a below-par run last time, though, which raises a question; still one of the more likely ones.

Finished third on AW (6f/5f) in first three starts for Tony Carroll and got off the mark when a well-backed winner here (5.5f, good to firm) 22 days ago; good recent form is thin on the ground and that last run puts him in pole position.
