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.

Not yet truly exposed over 6f since visored, winning on two occasions (on good to firm and soft) and first home on his side for the two defeats, over C&D and in the Ayr Silver Cup; the handicapper may not have weighed him up yet and he can be a big threat.

Has won on good to firm and soft this year; a big improver since visored over 6f, winning in fine style at Ascot in May then followed up at Epsom; he lost nothing in defeat when first home in his group at Ascot in July on his latest 6f start but was said to have never travelled during an abortive 7f attempt at Chepstow since; much respected if recapturing earlier 6f form.

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.
