Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved.

Three wins at Yarmouth (7f/1m, good to firm/good to soft) and he returned to form back there last Tuesday, finishing second off this mark (7f, good to soft); the return to 1m seems a likely plus and he's a contender if transferring his Yarmouth form on his first visit to this course.

Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously.

No great strike-rate but a switch to hold-up tactics worked a treat when landing a second career win at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, doing well to get up having not got in the clear until inside the final furlong; a shorter trip and different track mean similar tactics may not be as easy to pull off this time.
