Front-runner; made all to win comfortably at Musselburgh (7f) in August; an 8lb rise proved more than enough to find him out at Newcastle next time but the handicapper has split his turf and AW mark on the back of that and he competes off 5lb lower today; only had three outings on AW so could be a bit early to suggest he's not as good on it.
