His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance.

Most effective on AW (4-25) and was beaten 15l (tenth) in the Grey Horse handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 40-1) last month; needs this change of headgear - has won in first-time blinkers previously - to spark a revival; easing mark but poorly drawn.

Looked firmly on the up in May, beating Snuggle on heavy ground at Windsor and then seeing off 20 rivals in a York sprint 19 days later (6f, good to soft); unable to make the transition into Class 2 company on his last two starts but he's a strong contender at this level; wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best.
