Fine AW record (5-20; also placed eight times) and was operating right at the top of his game when just held at Wolverhampton (2m; beaten a short-head) last week; is entitled to be sharper for that comeback, so there's a strong probability he'll be bang there again; key player.

Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett.

Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives.

Ran for Sir Mark Prescott in three bumpers and eight Flat races, all without winning; Uttoxeter third (2m) over hurdles latest can't be that convincing given that she was beaten 25l, but it was the best of her three runs for this yard and this is her handicap hurdle debut over a new trip.
