Won back to back over 6f on AW/turf (Southwell and York) during August and September and has held his form reasonably well since; latest 6f fifth here was given a boost by the winner (Alfa Whiteburd) here this week; effectiveness over 7f (0-3) is the primary concern.

He has taken well to AW, winning over C&D last month and then going down narrowly at Southwell ten days ago; heavily backed here last week but met all the trouble going, eventually coming in fifth of the nine runners; 4lb out of the handicap but last week's run suggests he is back near his very best; this is a classier race but each-way claims.
