Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf.

Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering.
