Five-time winner on AW at Wolverhampton but 0-16 on turf; handicapper's giving him a chance and, while recent efforts don't suggest he'll take it, he did run well both previous visits here.

Four of his five wins have been here over 8.5f (good to soft/good to firm), the most recent last month off 4lb lower, and he was runner-up to This Farh over C&D next time; well held at Chester (7.5f, soft) 11 days ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track.

Multiple turf winner, most recently in 2021; 0-11 on AW but has dropped a long way in the weights since the autumn and he's been running well enough over 1m4f of late to think he shouldn't be far away.

Sole win from 22 starts came at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) over two years ago; first go for this yard when close fourth of 14 at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday; that was an encouraging start and he's due a 1lb nudge in future.

AW winner in Britain (8.5f) is 0-4 on turf and yet to hit the frame; new yard now (bought for 5,500gns) and likely best watched on first run for 239 days unless the market speaks.
