Recorded his eighth AW win when completing a double at Newcastle (1m) in March; came up short at Lingfield last time but that was another good effort in a valuable handicap on Good Friday; now returns to turf but he's still lightly raced in this sphere and is 11lb lower than last time; not ruled out.

Has won on turf so can't really hold the surface accountable for his disappointing efforts the last twice; prior to that he'd run out a cosy winner of a 7f handicap here though and he's only 2lb higher today; not tackled 1m since his racecourse debut.

Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race.
