All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in February and was good second at Chelmsford (1m2f) in April; well held at Kempton last month but he travelled smoothly for a long way and may have stretched stamina on that step up to 1m3f; now drops back in trip/grade and he's not ruled out.
