Prominent racer and dual C&D winner who had dropped 6lb below his last winning mark when beaten a neck here a fortnight ago; back up 3lb, but still well treated on previous form and another big effort seems likely.

Fine strike-rate on AW but, although yet to win on grass, is equally effective on it; wasn't at best in first-time visor last time and, although cheekpieces refitted, he may again find one or two too good.
