Nine-time AW winner but this veteran has finished down the field in that sphere in his last 11 runs; has dropped a long way in the weights but he has plenty to prove and his last turf win was in 2019.

Form & Verdict
Numerous frame efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) on penultimate run, but he's not easy to win with and was well held at Ripon (1m, good) last time; that took his turf record to 1-17 and others are more persuasive.

Three wins (7f/1m) on AW last year but he's not threatened after slow starts at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford in last three runs; this step back up in trip looks a positive but his only previous attempt on turf was a heavy defeat 12 months ago and others are more convincing.

Won off 2lb higher over C&D (good to firm) last summer but that is his sole win from 33 starts and he's been well held after missing the break on AW in last two runs; cheekpieces now return and he needs a major revival back at this track.
