All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run.

0-16; produced a series of consistent efforts earlier in the year, including on Tapeta here and at Southwell (1m); has failed to beat a single rival though in four starts since finishing runner-up at Pontefract in May; risky, and really needs to change of headgear to have the desired effect.
