Wins have come from the front on the AW and never off a mark quite this high; made just a fair comeback after six months off at Ascot (5f, good to soft) recently and will need to improve on that.

Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark.
