Just 1-13 on turf as opposed to 4-36 on AW and this is his first grass run since October 2021; however, he ran some good races on slow ground that autumn and he's posted some positive performances on AW this year (albeit not last time); has a lower turf mark to exploit and could go well.

Enjoyed a fine time of it at the end of last year, rattling off a C&D hat-trick; twice beaten off this mark since and although he had several excuses for his latest defeat, the earlier reverse did suggest the handicapper may have his measure.

Completed an AW hat-trick in the autumn, including two wins over C&D, but his form regressed afterwards and he finished around 14l behind After John when last of ten back here in December; only 2lb lower on this return from a short break and probably best watched for now.

Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in November, but has added another three wins since then and now bids for a quick C&D hat-trick under a 4lb penalty; only had a neck to spare last Saturday, but he can't be ruled out in his present mood, especially if the race again sets up ideally for his closing style.
