Form & Verdict
1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

Prevailed in reapplied hood at Southwell (6f) last time, taking AW record to 4-13; needs to prove he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-10 in this sphere and is 7lb higher than last attempt.

Narrowly came out on top when winning here over 5f last month before finishing a close third at Lingfield (5f, AW) next time, and shaped as if still in form in a race not run to suit back there ten days ago; step back up to 6f looks worth a try; hood back on.

Never better than of late, just coming out best in a tight scrap at Southwell (5f) and slightly hampered when unable to get to the winner in time over C&D since, when finishing a close third; big player if leaving off the tongue-tie makes no difference.

Impressive over C&D (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in April; second at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in August and has probably been running better than it looks in three starts this month, latterly when not staying 6f ten days ago; might surprise a few.

Patchy form since getting off the mark in three-runner AW novice in January but she doubled her tally when landing a six-runner Yarmouth handicap (also 5f, good) in July; bled that day and off since, while the 5lb rise looks stiff enough.
