Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected.

Six-race maiden but he's finished runner-up five times and hit a personal best with his strong-finishing second here (6f) on stable debut last month; sets a useful standard on that form and he's a big player on this step up to 7f; cheekpieces added.
