Form & Verdict
Four wins since joining James Owen, the last two from the front in 7f handicaps on Tapeta; penalised tonight but still only 3lb higher than for last week's Newcastle success; other pace on show today but he isn't a one-dimensional front-runner by any stretch.

His progress for James Owen has been quite a story, winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December off a 40lb lower mark; fine second-place finishes on his last two runs and still seems to be improving; each-way shout.

Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now.
