Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in).

Form & Verdict
Still seeking his first win after 15 attempts but he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, beaten under one length into fourth at Newcastle before a good C&D third 18 days ago; better drawn today and he holds each-way claims once again.

It took him 17 attempts to put his head in front, finally opening his account in a 6f maiden at Newcastle in March; solid second in a 6f Southwell handicap one month later; absent for 81 days and although he isn't on a bad mark, he does have to prove his stamina for 7f.

Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted.

Form & Verdict
His second to Supreme King over C&D in December has been franked since and he races off the same mark today; only sixth over C&D 18 days ago but that race wasn't run to suit; this could be more truly run and he's capable of a prominent showing.
