Unsuited by soft ground last time out but a solid contender in 1m4f turf handicaps previously; higher in the weights than when winning his latest two AW races, over 1m4f at Lingfield, but the manner of the most recent win suggests the return to AW will be a good move; respected.

Successful three times (on AW and good to firm) this season; ran well at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago despite finishing lame; drying ground would be in his favour, as he finished last on both his outings on softer than good; raised another 3lb though.

Form & Verdict
0-4 at maiden/novice level, picking up no prize-money; gelded since last run; this Prescott runner is a likely improver now handicapping and upped in distance (bred to relish 1m4f); interesting.

Has mostly run well since handicapping, one of the exceptions on his sole visit to this track but that was on soft ground and the only time he's had a visor (usually wears cheekpieces); three front-running wins on turf at up to 2m last season and renewed his progress this term, always prominent when scoring from Temporize at Goodwood (2m) last time; whether he can get a good enough early position from stall 1 is a worry, as he's not been quick to find his stride this term, but otherwise he should run very well.

Form & Verdict
Regressive results in 2yo novice events on AW; however, likely to do better now he's qualified for a mark and upped in trip (half-brother to a 1m2f-1m6f winner); headgear fitted; one to consider.
