Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed.

Cheekpieces on for last three races, the last two at Wolverhampton (1m6f); won by 3l under Brandon Wilkie and by more than double that margin under Silvestre De Sousa four days ago; has a penalty, but with Wilkie back aboard claiming 5lb he's effectively just 1lb higher; should continue the good work back on turf.

A break may have helped and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October; however, he was down the field there in December on his first two runs for this yard; something to prove on return.

Record of 32123 over 2m at Newcastle in his final five runs for D O'Meara; struggled on recent stable debut but the drop back to 1m4f was against him and he now takes a big step back up in trip; has claims if he can recapture his spark and he's not ruled out; visor the headgear of choice today.
