Landed two 0-50 classified events over C&D in March and showed he could still mix it in handicaps when third of ten back here 20 days ago; now back on his last winning handicap mark and makes plenty of appeal.

Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out.
