9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated.

Still a maiden after 32 starts and sometimes races too freely but was respectable third in this grade at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June, after a break, and ought to be suited by this move back up in trip.

Offered a bit more when fourth of six in a similar race at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; drop in trip/new headgear both possible avenues of improvement; check betting.

Showed no improvement switched to handicap level last time, finishing midfield, and still has RPRs in the 30s; chance depends on the effects of first-time headgear.
