Both wins on the AW, a 7f novice and 1m handicap last month (when 4lb lower); never involved from off the pace back there a month ago but he could be ready for this longer distance; return to turf is no concern.

Better than ever this year after gelding operation and wind surgery, coming from last to first over C&D three weeks ago; he's in deeper here but a 4lb rise hardly looks insurmountable and it feels as if he's just starting to fulfil his potential; leading contender.

Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit.

Favourite in a handicap at the Curragh (7f, yielding) three weeks ago on his second stable start and did well to finish third having endured a torrid passage; there's mileage in his mark judged on his peak form for Jack Channon, namely a Group 3 second at Haydock (1m, good) last September, and he could play a leading role back up to 1m if he gets the breaks.

Clear promise in three 7f maiden/novice runs on AW early in the year; some promise on turf/handicap debut at Salisbury in May (1m2f, good to firm) but ran poorly at Lingfield two weeks ago (AW; tried in blinkers which are quickly dispensed with); could still have a bigger run in him.

His fourth win of the year when doing it convincingly at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago; a 6lb rise might not be beyond him but, although he has run well on ground softer than good, recent soft and heavy-ground assigments were swerved; presumably he could have done without the recent rain.
