Below par on AW last autumn on final two runs for Stuart Williams; however, he twice went close on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm) last August and he'll be bang there if rediscovering that form on his stable and seasonal debut, for which he wears a tongue-tie; remains in same ownership.
