Form & Verdict
Progressive as a 3yo and with his Ascot reappearance behind him he took his form to a new level with a front-running 6f win at Newmarket 11 days ago; enjoyed a tactical advantage there but such is his profile that it wouldn't pay to assume he was flattered; 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run back on AW (3-4 in AW handicaps).

Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

He has had issues at the start but he was quickly into stride on his stable debut at Kempton (6f) and shaped well on that return from 626 days off; if, and there has to be a doubt, he can break as quickly again then he should go well up the far rail.
