Placed in Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, good) on final turf start last year and returned from break with quite pleasing fourth over that trip here nine days ago; can cope with this drop back to 5f; no surprise if he features.

Finished well to take second over 5f here last month but he's not easy to predict and was always in rear at Newcastle last time; now goes back up in trip but he's only won one of his last 14 starts and others are more solid.
