Currently 3-3 on Tapeta, 0-5 on turf and Polytrack combined; can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise for his Southwell win four weeks ago and he won't mind coming back up from 6f; holds leading claims.

Dual scorer (5f/7f) at Wolverhampton as 2yo; advanced his form when runner-up in 6f Lingfield handicap on return but never able to challenge in 7f Goodwood handicap since; no surprise to see him bounce back returned to AW.

Form & Verdict
Both starts over 5f in April, winning at Newbury then coming up short in useful race at Ascot; debut form helps to set the standard and the new trip should suit.

Left good-ground debut behind when making all over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; turns out he faced a stiff task attempting to concede 7lb to last weekend's Kempton Group 3 winner Five Ways back there (6f, good to firm again) last month, sticking on for a clear second in a style which suggests this step back up to 7f may help on nursery debut; William Buick retains the ride; considered.

Progressive; 2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, supplementing a convincing 7f Lingfield win with another over 1m at Chepstow (good to firm, 4-6 favourite); this is a sterner test from 10lb higher than last time but, with fast ground to suit, it'll be no surprise if he's up to the challenge.
