T: Andrew Balding

Slow starts have become an unwelcome habit but he caught the eye keeping on for fifth of 13 behind King's Code over C&D in January, when denied a clear run; last of three at Lingfield since in a race that wasn't run to suit; each-way claims if getting the breaks.

Smart at his peak on AW but slow starts have become an unwelcome habit and he's been operating below his very best in AW handicaps this winter; would need to bounce back to his peak form to trouble an on-song Survie.

Form & Verdict
Triple Group 3 winner; has done the majority of his racing on turf but his third in last year's September Stakes over C&D shows he's effective on AW; not at his best in a C&D Listed race last month but he may find life easier giving weight away to lesser opposition; respected.
