Form & Verdict
His C&D win (soft) last October off 2lb lower represents strong form; not at his best in either start this year but Oisin Murphy takes over today and he's fully effective on fast ground; can do better.

Four-time AW winner; has his quirks and 0-7 on turf but he's blessed with plenty of ability and likely he'll prove as effective on the grass in time; not seen to best effect at Chelmsford latest; one for the shortlist.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.
