T: Scott Dixon

Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D.

Form & Verdict
Four of his six wins have come on Tapeta (6f-8.6f) and latest was off 7lb higher last spring; mixed results in his three runs this year but he didn't get any luck at Southwell (1m) last time and was a close third at Newcastle on penultimate run; will need a good pace back at this trip but he's not ruled out.

Sole win from 24 starts came on turf (7f, good) last May but he ran some good races on AW in the autumn, including when runner-up at this track (8.6f) in November; returns from 142 days off but he needs watching in the market; blinkers reapplied.
