0-10 on turf as opposed to 3-15 on AW but he's run a couple of good races here, including when third over C&D last month following a break, and he's an each-way possible.

Form & Verdict

Headstrong sort who was disappointing at Chester recently but won over C&D (heavy) the time before to make it four wins for the season; went close on fast ground here in June; no surprise if he bounces back with big run.
