0-12 in 2024 and he finished over 5l behind King David 18 days ago (7f); that was his first run for his new yard though and he could be sharper with that run behind him; not ruled out.

Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough.

Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive.

Solid efforts in defeat on last four starts, including C&D; tendency to fluff the start means he carries risk but he's more than capable of winning a race of this nature granted a clean break; hood left off today.

Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time.

Edging down the weights and dropping back from 1m2f looks a good move; needs a bit more to win but it's not out of the question.
