Form & Verdict
Won two of last three starts for Keith Dalgleish, over 6f on this track and 7f at Musselburgh (made all); had some excuses for new yard, including when ground has been slower than good, and of more interest back here now he's just 1lb higher than latest winning mark.

Sole AW win over 6f at Kempton in 2021; was running well over 7f on turf earlier in the season but he didn't look to fail for want of stamina over 1m back on Tapeta at Southwell recently and hard to know whether he'll reproduce it back over 7f on this sharper track.
