Form & Verdict
Smart sprinter on his day and has won eight times on turf, the latest from 5lb higher at York (5.4f, good to firm) in August last year; lightly raced on the AW and finished over 3l behind Kylian at Newcaastle (5f, Tapeta) last month; enjoys a 9lb pull so he can't be dismissed.

Listed winner on turf for Karl Burke as a 2yo; 2-2 on the AW with both wins coming at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta), the latest 18 days ago; put up 7lb for that, but he won that contest with a bit to spare and looks capable of even better on artificial surfaces; major player.

His form has taken a downturn but he's dropped down the weights and there was some promise in his eighth of 14 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last week in reapplied blinkers (retained), when not beaten far despite being denied a clear run; drops in grade here and could have a part to play.

Six AW runs have yielded four wins, a second and a close fifth (stable debut after a six-month break and off a 7lb higher mark than today's); has blown hot and cold on turf since April but the blinkers worn for his last four wins now return (has raced exclusively in cheekpieces since joining Robert Cowell) and he should make a bold bid to maintain an unbeaten C&D record.

Form & Verdict
Won his first two starts over 5f on a soft surface 286 days apart, but well held in all three outings since (stiff task in the first); returns from another 160 days off having been gelded in the meantime and this looks a warm race in which to make his AW debut.
