Six-time turf winner who was also winning his sixth AW event when scoring at Southwell (7f) in February; 2lb lower when coming back to form with neck defeat over that C&D in April but not seen since; nothing wrong with his mark if this isn't merely a springboard to another AW campaign.

Ordinary form in Britain, just sole 1m AW win to his name; seasonal/stable debut fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh, in this grade, was very good (travelled well and stuck on well) and quite likely he 'bounced' eight days later at Carlisle; has tried different headgear and visor now goes; trainer seems adept at improving recruits.

Trainer does well with older horses picked up from elsewhere and Sean Bowen has enjoyed an excellent run for him of late; headgear comes off on this return to the AW and he's one of the more interesting runners.
