Won his first four starts on Tapeta after the visor went back on, rising 34lb in the process; however, he could only manage a midfield finish off this mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on Wednesday which means he has something to prove all of a sudden.

Sole win came on AW; her two turf runs don't feature among her better efforts but she was sent off favourite in a first-time tongue tie when sixth to United Force over C&D in July, after which she had wind surgery; might have needed her latest outing when sixth at Southwell (1m; United Force third) after 274 days away.

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start.
