He has won two of his last three starts, both over 1m2f at Lingfield when partnered by Rossa Ryan; recet winning form something of a novelty in this field and he has to be high on the list.

Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time).

Form & Verdict
His two bumper runs weren't devoid of promise; not offered a great deal on the Flat thus far (one eyecatching run over 7f here), often slowly away, but there are several grounds for expecting better today, namely a more suitable trip, the addition of a tongue tie and the drop into classified company; interesting.

0-8 on AW but adding a tongue-tie seems to have helped on last two starts, not far away in a Wolverhampton classified (about 1m1f) and he didn't look short of stamina upped to 1m6f in a handicap here since; thereabouts.
