Improved his AW strike-rate to 6-29 when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March; record of 0-8 on turf but he ran some good races on fast ground last summer and he's in the mix off only 2lb higher than last time.

More talent than many with his rating but he is often the architect of his own demise, as when virtually refusing to race here three weeks ago; prior to that he'd won a C&D handicap for today's rider so a revival wouldn't be a total shock; headgear off today.

Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall.
