All of his 13 Flat wins have been on turf and he's 0-9 on AW; returned to form with fair fourth at Bath (2m1f, good) in June but he's struggled in both subsequent runs (hurdles/Flat) and others are preferred; stablemate of Trooper.

Solid effort in better company at Ascot (winner and fourth gone in subsequently) three weeks ago having won off 3lb lower at Brighton; hard to be certain about him on this ground but is one to consider for a yard in good nick.

First run on the Flat since his 3yo days in Ireland and a poor latest effort over hurdles will need forgiving; doesn't appeal as well treated even then and has never run on ground faster than good under either code.
