Runner-up in both starts over this trip, at Kempton (Polytrack) last month (fourth and fifth have won since) and when beaten less than a length at Bath (good to soft) 15 days ago (fourth has won since); those efforts set the standard and every chance of going one better.

Found the winner almost 4l too good on last month's Kempton debut (1m), but that's an effort well worth marking up considering his widest draw (13 of 13) and demonstrable greenness; goes close if clued up from the start, with nothing about the switch to turf giving cause for concern.
