Form & Verdict
Overcame a wide draw when winning the corresponding race in determined fashion 12 months ago; returns off a 2lb higher mark but he's in fair form and he was stretched by 6f at Doncaster last month; this stiff 5f looks ideal and the return of cheekpieces could give him a lift; respected.
