Five-race maiden but placed in four of them, including when a close third at Lingfield on last month's seasonal debut (7f, AW); that run can be upgraded (forced wide) and he should have no issue with the return to turf; more appealing than many.

Placed on four occasions prior to his 7f handicap win at Salisbury in May; that form has worked out well enough to think this mark was in range and his disappointing run here 24 days ago can be excused (lost his position after some early scrimmaging); has to prove his stamina but he will be a danger to all if seeing out the mile.
