Far from solid on his form for current yard, raced mostly over 6f and yet to win on turf; enough to prove in this scenario; had wind surgery (his second) since last run.

Finished second of 20 on his stable debut/reappearance at York (6f, good) in May, but not built on it in three subsequent starts; won four times on Tapeta late last year including twice here, but they were over 6f and he hasn't raced over 5f since he was a 2yo; enough to prove; stable also runs Nazron.

Form & Verdict
On a dangerous mark (last successful off a 15lb higher mark) and finally showed signs that he might take advantage soon when third over C&D two weeks ago; has been expensive to follow but now too well treated to dismiss.

All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again.

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

Form & Verdict
Improved efforts in August/September, winning over this trip at Southwell and York, and he showed he was still in good form when a never-nearer fifth of 15 in a warm race at Doncaster last time; twice a C&D winner and looks a leading contender once more.
