Minor promise on turf but his form has taken off since switched to AW, completing a quick hat-trick in the last month (6f-7f, Tapeta and Polytrack); seemed to resent being behind horses at Lingfield last week, pulling extremely hard in the early stages and doing well to finish as close as he did in the circumstances; still feasibly treated on earlier efforts and this C&D winner might prove happier back on a straight track.

Prominent-racer who won over C&D last month on his AW debut and second nursery start, and has won twice since (7f/6f, Tapeta), the latest at Newcastle on Monday when comfortably making all; his penalties are mounting up but he's 3-3 on AW and clearly thriving, and has to be respected.

Went with a good pace and showed the right attitude when winning at Wolverhampton last Monday; a 6lb penalty will make things tougher, having gone up 8lb for his previous win, but he looks on the upgrade and should be fine down from 7f.

Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.
