Has won on turf so can't really hold the surface accountable for his disappointing efforts the last twice; prior to that he'd run out a cosy winner of a 7f handicap here though and he's only 2lb higher today; not tackled 1m since his racecourse debut.

Won just two of his first 30 starts, often compromising his chance at the start, but he has raced without headgear in his last four runs and won three of them; soaring up the weights as a result and he has prove his stamina for this new trip.

Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race.
