Hiked in the weights after winning easily in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in July; failed to make presence felt since (7.5f-1m2f) but fine on soft ground and a change of headgear might help.

Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf.

Form & Verdict
Travelled strongly when scoring for the third time here (1m2f, good to firm; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; disappointing back over 1m4f on soft here latterly but return to this trip can suit and is 1-2 for Sean D Bowen; drying ground would aid chance.
