All five wins have come on the AW, including two at 6f last winter; highlight of turf form when third to Tango Flare here last autumn; fair form this term, but needs first-time cheekpieces to have an improving effect.

Improved on the AW last winter with two wins at this trip (beat City House second occasion); turf return came at Newmarket early this month, showing plenty of pace until weakening final furlong in finishing creditable fourth in very valuable contest; remains on a handy mark compared to AW so has to be respected.
