Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm.

0-12 on the AW and 1-23 overall, but has done better since the visor went on and although only sixth of 14 over C&D last time, he was beaten less than 2l and would have gone close to winning with a clear run; might prove the answer.
