Form & Verdict
Hadn't been enjoying the rub of the green on AW and a change of tactics was employed at Newmarket 11 days ago (hood left off); unable to sustain the strong pace on that occasion but this is weaker and he has the assistance of Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time; faster ground in his favour too so there are grounds for optimism.

He had been threatening something bigger earlier in the year and things finally clicked when the well-backed winner of a Leicester handicap three weeks ago (6f, good); hasn't been missed with a 6lb rise but there aren't many pace influences in the field and he should go very well again.

Raced exclusively on AW since his racecourse debut; sprung a 40-1 surprise at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago, finishing with a real flourish down the outside to win comfortably; 5lb rise fair enough and this should be run to suit; chance if he can deliver such a potent finish on grass.

The addition of a visor saw him win at Southwell (6f) in February, his first win since his 2yo debut; only fourth off this mark at Wolverhampton next time and an easy lead would seem unlikely.
