Six AW runs have yielded four wins, a second and a close fifth (stable debut after a six-month break and off a 7lb higher mark than today's); has blown hot and cold on turf since April but the blinkers worn for his last four wins now return (has raced exclusively in cheekpieces since joining Robert Cowell) and he should make a bold bid to maintain an unbeaten C&D record.

Front-runner; the winner of four of his last six starts, notably a game effort at Doncaster six days ago (6.5f, good to soft); a 5lb penalty for that hard-fought short-head success demands more but his fine attitude and abundant stamina will stand him in good stead on a rare 6f outing.
