Three runs on turf, winning a 6f novice at Redcar in August either side of thirds at at Ripon; yet to get it right at the start and he'll need to raise his game if he is to defy a penalty now switched to AW.

Recovered from another poor start soon enough and dug in well to land the odds at Redcar last month (good to firm); effectiveness over today's C&D essentially proven on debut, and prospects of defying the penalty will only increase if getting all the basics right.

Form & Verdict
Showed promise with his debut third at Catterick (6f, good) last month and he found plenty of progress when scoring in similar conditions at Ayr two weeks ago; that was a narrow win but he showed a good attitude to reel in the long-time leader and sets the standard under a penalty here; key player.

All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break.
