Prominent-racer who was unlucky not to have won outright at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in June but he was tailed off there in next two runs; still unexposed on turf but he's hard to predict and needs a major revival back in this sphere.

Runner-up twice over 1m before last month's narrow 7f turf win here, and gave another good account when fifth at Newbury (7f) on latest outing; will be fine back on Polytrack and is evidently in good nick but may find others better handicapped here.
