Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish.

Two-time AW winner is 0-9 on turf; stayed on well for a 2.75l second over 2m1f at Killarney last time and closely matched with The Kingstonian on Chester form in May; may need more of a stamina test.

Quite a promising debut here two weeks ago, staying on well in a 1m2f maiden, beaten less than three lengths (Tribal Star third, Dahab fourth); plenty of scope for improvement and has a chance of reversing that form.
