Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass.

Can miss the break and was a well held at Ascot (7f) ten days ago but he's 2-4 on AW and didn't get the breaks at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run; still has potential in this sphere and he looks interesting dropped back in trip and grade.

Particularly successful on Tapeta but he was a wide-margin winner over C&D in June and again won from the front at Wolverhampton in his only subsequent AW run; the chasers were closing there but he had the race in the bag from some way out and, back up 3lb, he looks sure to go well again.
