Well beaten on final start here before an absence but leaving that aside he has an excellent record on this track at 7f and about 1m, winning for the second time in three attempts when nabbing Candy Warhol and Streak Lightning over C&D in April; back up 2lb but still well treated on past form.

Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again.

J: Tyler Heard

Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground.

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.

Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front.
