4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Dead-heated off 1lb higher at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last April but he's not easy to predict and has finished down the field in his last four starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but others are more convincing.

Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here.

Got off the mark when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and followed up at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on his next start; however, he's been well held on his last three starts and remains 3lb higher than for his latest success.

Successful in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle last autumn and there have been some good runs in defeat since, including over 1m4f here 17 days ago; well positioned in that steadily run race and more minor money perhaps his best hope.

Ten-race maiden; two respectable efforts on soft at about 1m across August and September but he was beaten a long way a fortnight ago and that was the third time this season he's suffered a heavy defeat on good ground; cheekpieces removed for this AW debut.
