Two handicap wins on turf this year (7f, good to soft and 1m, heavy) and ran his best race for some time when second back at Goodwood three weeks ago; another 2lb higher now though and something to prove on first AW start since April 2021.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed.

Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove.

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance.

Form & Verdict
Not at his best in two turf runs this autumn but an AW record of 5-7, including 2-2 at Kempton, catches the eye and he looked good here in January; still handily weighted and a full revival seems likely.

All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run.

Form & Verdict
0-8 since joining David O'Meara but he has some quality handicap form to his name, notably a second of 18 at the Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm); ended up eighth of the 20 runners in a strong Ascot handicap 16 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he tanked through the race, probably closer to the pace than ideal, before tiring on the deep ground; dropped 2lb and he's interesting back at 7f.

Progressing well on AW and although he was beaten off 2lb lower here (6f) in September, he still shaped like a well-handicapped horse; further progress expected but this won't be easy; 2-2 over 7f, both at Kempton.

Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly.
