Runner-up twice over 1m before last month's narrow 7f turf win here, and gave another good account when fifth at Newbury (7f) on latest outing; will be fine back on Polytrack and is evidently in good nick but may find others better handicapped here.

Had suggested he was on the way back when twice runner-up over 1m last month and with cheekpieces removed he just got up to win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago; 3lb higher, but this more galloping track is in his favour and he shouldn't be far away.
