In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise.

Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb.

Five turf wins were all secured in a tongue-tie, with additional cheekpeices on last three occasions; has never won on AW and after latest campaign on that surface he now returns to grass with good handicapping case to be made; no headgear looks a negative, though.

Eyecatching second at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on his penultimate run, but he's a frequent slow starter who was always in rear at Lingfield last Saturday; needs to bounce back again after that and he's now 0-18 on AW.
