Made his breakthrough over 5.6f here (good) in May but he has a mixed since and has finished seventh in last two runs; bit to prove again but he's had wind surgery since his last run and has possibilities if he can get back near best; acts on good and soft ground.

Just one win from 17 starts but that was at Bath (5.7f, good) in May and he finished well for a close third back there (3-1 favourite) last month; can miss the break but he's tactically versatile and looks interesting on this step back up in trip.
