Two wins on AW this year, with first over C&D in April and latest at Lingfield (AW) last month; disappointing back at this track last time but he may have done too much too soon and he's capable of bouncing back; in the mix for in-form yard.

Running consistently well on the AW this year, including wins in 0-50 classified events at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in January and here (9.5f) five weeks ago; more to do back in a handicap and he steps up over 2f in trip, but his sire's stamina influence should help; big player if he stays.
