Record of 2-6, with his wins in a Chepstow maiden (6f, good to soft) and Windsor novice (6f, good to firm); ran another good race when runner-up in Yarmouth nursery last time but he needs more progress to make a serious impact in this company; cheekpieces added.

Chased home a smart prospect at Nottingham in June before making all for an emphatic win at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last month; disappointing under a penalty at Newcastle (Tapeta) last time but his best efforts have been on turf so far and he's a key player on his penultimate form; dangerous back in this sphere.

3-12 on AW compared to 0-17 on turf but last week's second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) suggests he can pick up a win on the grass off this sort of mark; has to enter calculations, although any easing of the ground possibly not ideal.

All three wins have been on the AW at Wolverhampton over 5f but he caught the eye finishing strongly for fourth at Thirsk (5f, good; Irish Dancer was second) nine days ago; possibly an unfortunate loser on that occasion having been hampered against the rail and and could make amends.
