Seven of his eight wins have come on AW and latest was at Wolverhampton (7f) 22 days ago; 4lb higher on this big step back up in grade but that was a dominant display last time and another bold bid could be on the cards.

Recorded his seventh win when finishing to score under Morgan Cole at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; 4lb higher on this step back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a decent tow into this race; respected.

Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high).

On a long losing run but he's well handicapped on last year's best efforts and was beaten just a neck at Leicester (7f, soft) last time on his second start back from a break; has won twice here (6f/7f, good to firm) and it's a course that often brings out the best in him; firmly in calculations.
