W: 12st 2lb

Form & Verdict
Well treated on his win at Exeter (3m, good) last February but he's been inconsistent since and has struggled in both runs this year; stays this trip and now drops back in grade but this veteran needs a major revival.

Inconsistent in recent seasons and his stamina for 3m6f on heavy ground is not copper-bottomed but he runs this track well and is well handicapped on form as recent as the autumn; can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism off this mark in this race (good) last year but he's been pulled up in his last three runs and latest was back over C&D in March; this return to forecast quicker ground looks a positive but he needs to turn things around.

Won at Exeter (2m, heavy) on New Year's Day but he's taken three backward steps since and was beaten 56l at Perth (3m, soft) last month; still relatively lightly raced but he has plenty to prove on his step up to this trip.

Won over 2m3f on heavy at Exeter on New Year's Day and it was a strong Cheltenham handicap in which he struggled next time; however, his Newbury third was very remote and disappointing (2m7f, heavy); he's bred to stay this far but much depends on what effect the cheekpieces have.
