Both wins have been on AW and he shaped with promise when fifth on his reappearance over C&D (13-2) last month; drawn out wide this time but he should get a good pace to aim at and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; dangerous.

Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere.

Ended a long losing run at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in April and he's held his form back on turf since, including a close call at Salisbury (6f, soft) and a 2l sixth in a big field at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month; still looks on a workable mark and he could be a big factor back on AW.

Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims.

6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes.

6 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Reinvigorated by the drop into Class 5 company on his last two starts, finishing second a Lingfield before winning over C&D a fortnight ago (good Topspeed figure); a 2lb rise still leaves him with handicapping scope; major player.
