Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark.

Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners).
