He'd been struggling this season but staged a revival in a first-time tongue-tie to win over C&D (heavy) at the beginning of the month; failed to back in up in last Friday's Bronze Cup at Ayr but the fact he's 3lb lower here can only help.

He got up to a very useful standard as a juvenile but has lost his form this year, including in three starts for this yard; new tongue-tie has some heavy lifting to do but he's dangerously handicapped if there is a turnaround.

Listed runner-up here last October and he's well treated on that form but he's been a long way below that level on his six outings this season (three of them here); a major turnaround is necessary.
