Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he's finished runner-up in last four starts and he ran into a handicap blot at Salisbury (1m2f, soft; first-time visor) last Saturday; was no match for the winner in that race but he pulled clear of the third and still looks on a workable mark; key player.

Doesn't help himself by racing too freely and remains a maiden after nine runs but came second three times last month (8.3f-1m2f, good to firm) and is likely to be right in the thick of things again here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; handles good to soft, unraced on anything slower.

Second run after wind surgery saw him better than ever back on turf for a clearcut win in 12-runner race on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) when last seen nearly ten weeks ago; 7lb rise demands better still but he's a regular Flat winner who needs respect.

All of his Flat success for this yard has been on AW, albeit with good-ground hurdle wins too and he was runner-up at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last August; has a run under his belt this term but to win this would require a new best performance on turf.
