Back off the same mark as for the latest of his six turf wins at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last August and has twice finished runner-up over this trip on the Newcastle Tapeta, but ran poorly on this month's Thirsk return (7f, soft) and needs to leave that effort behind.

All five wins on AW, with the latest three coming under Ellie Mayo (5f-1m); led for a long way but faded into third at Redcar (1m, good) 63 days ago; has the tongue-tie added and probably needs a strong pace to aim at over this trip (won his only previous start over 5f).
