5yo who was better than ever when winning competitive Class 4 at York (1m4f, good to firm) in May on reappearance; well beaten off this 4lb higher mark in Epsom Class 2 (1m4f, good) since and is in the same grade here, but the track may not have suited last time and he's not ruled out each-way.

Usually runs with credit and his narrow win at York (1m4f, good to firm; 4lb higher today) on latest outing was career-best form; there is more for him to prove, though, if the ground is softer than good.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f Kempton AW novice in October 2022; down the weights when winning 11-runner race at York (1m4f, good to soft) last Friday, having a troubled passage before leading on the line; that was an apprentice race, so he can race off the same mark today (due to go up 3lb) and has to make appeal.

T: Andrew Balding

Last summer's turf wins came on good to soft but he's fully effective on a faster surface; best effort this year when a close fourth in a Class 2 handicap at Haydock three weeks ago (1m4f, good); should be in the thick of it once more.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Best form came over about 1m4f on turf last summer, with two wins (York and Chepstow) and three close seconds, including at York Ebor meeting (same mark today); he's not sparked in the same way in his four races since but latest start (third of seven at Newmarket) was his best effort this term; well treated if he returns to peak form.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in three starts on the Kempton AW late last year, narrowly winning a maiden (1m3f); contesting turf handicaps this term, dropped in class when second of seven at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last time; while that was his best form, he also looked a tricky customer by hanging and wandering in the closing stages; capable, but rather mixed messages.

Multiple winner but forever comes with risks due to his habit of starting slowly, which was again the case when going down narrowly over C&D 11 days ago; a danger to all should a visor have the desired effect.

Regular slow-starter but good record (1511233) over the 1m4f on AW at this track; unraced here on turf and although plenty of ability remains in this sphere, it is disconcerting that there's been no turf win since June 2022.

Recorded a four-timer in small-field events over 1m4f/1m3f on Tapeta for Barry Brennan between January and March, once the visor went on; has had only four races on turf, including on last three outings (last two for Tom Dascombe) and those performances do not look good enough.

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.
