All six of his wins have been on turf but he has form on AW; won by a head at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May before a lesser effort on his final start for Richard Fahey; failed to beat a rival on yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and the visor now returns.

Runner-up on stable and seasonal debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June and has won his next three (1m2f/1m3f); had plenty in hand over C&D last time and an 8lb rise may not stop him today.

Competitive off this sort of mark during a limited campaign last year without looking to have anything in hand; similar story over this trip on her comeback in early April and she took a step backwards at Brighton (1m2f, also good to firm) 25 days later; handicapper's not really budging but cheekpieces are enlisted and this is winnable.

Made it 2-4 with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month on second handicap start and good second at Sandown (1m2f, good) subsequently, form that has been franked by the third; he's a 3yo on the up and could well play another leading role if conditions suit (unraced on fast ground).
