6-23 on AW but just 1-18 on turf; made the frame three consecutive times over 7f this spring and is well handicapped on that form but has questions to answer after two down-the-field runs; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark.

Dropped out tamely when upped to 8.6f on AW recently and needs to put that run behind him but posted a string of good efforts over 7f/1m beforehand and has a fighting chance if back on song here.
