Form & Verdict
0-2 on turf; AW debutant has shown promise in both starts; didn't quite get home over 6f when a 9l ninth of 19 at Navan on latest when behind Chester Nimitz; this less testing track will suit better on that evidence; could outrun his likely odds if handling this surface.

Five wins include twice over C&D and valuable Lingfield handicap in the spring; contesting premier turf handicaps of late, notably close third in Rockingham (Curragh), not clear run in the Ahonoora at Galway last time (7f); back to optimum trip now and one to consider.
