Form & Verdict
Sole win on turf in 2021 (about 5f) but has gone close on Polytrack; has not been nailing it this year, however, and his Tapeta debut at Southwell recently didn't go well; much to prove with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

All seven wins over 5f at Newcastle but he also acts well here; went close off this mark at Newcastle in April and has had excuses either side of a break since; bold bid on the cards.
