Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.

Unable to land a telling blow when favourite here (6f) this month but was close third off much-reduced mark here two starts ago and ought to be suited by today's return to 7f; tongue-tie removed after one use; it might pay to give him another chance.

Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right.
