Form & Verdict
Should be happier back down from 9.5f but he's a regressive maiden who's had plenty of chances; ran below market expectations on his debut for this yard and has been patchy at best since.

Three of four wins have come over 1m2f at Chelmsford, the latest an easy success in January; should appreciate the return to the AW after finishing out of the frame in two starts on turf, but this is the longest trip he has ever attempted.

Four wins on AW but 0-6 on turf (has run well on good to firm); switching from blinkers to cheekpieces didn't help matters at Ripon last month and he now returns to 1m; others appeal more.

Front-runner; hasn't won in almost three years and does most racing over a bit shorter; solid effort over C&D last month, given he pulled hard, and has claims if more amenable and able to get his own way in front.

Front-runner who won five times on turf last season (7f/1m); probably needed his return from seven months off at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but a concern that he is 1-21 on the AW and has been well held in both starts on Polytrack.
