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.

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.

He's been up and down this season but soft ground may not have suited over C&D a fortnight ago and he's won three of his seven starts this term (6f/5f, AW/good to firm), the latest at Sandown in July; this 3yo remains lightly raced and it will be no surprise if he bounces back.

Two emphatic wins in May when these cheekpieces went on (7f/1m, good/good to firm) and he was back on the scoresheet in a big field at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago, again with plenty in hand; highly progressive and could still be well treated even after an 8lb rise since last time.

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.
