Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time.

These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event.

Fine start for his new yard, winning a Chelmsford handicap in June in good style and following up off the same mark at Lingfield four days later; also ran a cracker at Ascot in July (5f, good to firm) but his form has dipped on his last two starts; return to AW can help and a change of headgear is another possible source of improvement.
