Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf.

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.

Both wins on Lingfield AW over 1m2f; fifth of 13 last time in a 7.6f handicap at Lingfield (good) was the best he's managed in four attempts on turf and he needs further than that, but there's a question mark about this trip.
