Poor form in three sprint runs this summer; bred to be useful and fetched 50,000gns as a breezer so possible there's more to come now tackling a more suitable trip on his handicap debut; new accessories today too.

Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that.

Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners).

Has done most of his racing on the AW, winning five times at 7f/1m; was having only his third turf run when a good second at Newmarket on latest start last month (1m, good to firm; wore today's combination of headgear for first time), keeping on well after starting slowly when his blindfold came off late; interesting.
