Hard to place on turf; has raced infrequently on AW but appreciated the first attempt over 7f on sand when not hard pressed to win on Newcastle Tapeta ten days ago; up 5lb on course debut but of more interest than most.

Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order.
