Returned to Tony Carroll and left a couple of quiet AW runs behind when scoring over C&D (beat She Went Whoosh by nearly 3l) and at Brighton (6f) in May; came up short in hat-trick bid at Windsor on Monday but was out of his comfort zone early over the bare 5f before plugging on into fifth; not dismissed if turned out quickly.

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again.

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits.

Last run: 10 days

W: 9st 13lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 50

Form & Verdict
All four AW wins over 6f at Newcastle, administering a thumping in two of his last three starts but running flat in between; effective over C&D too but he was never involved in his sole course run in the last year and the switch in track raises a minor question.

His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form.
