Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass.

Two 5f wins on fast ground this summer and he has run well in defeat on his last three starts; climbing the weights as a consequence and there are other fast horses in today's field.

Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot.

Made good progress last season and he has improved again this year, finishing third of 17 over C&D on his reappearance and winning at Ffos Las (5f, good) and C&D (good to firm) on his last two starts; up another 5lb but foolish to think he has reached his ceiling.

Two C&D runs have seen him make the frame in big-field events; easily saw off four rivals in a handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good) 26 days ago; the combination of a 7lb rise and considerably more demanding opposition could scupper a follow up.

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve.

Form & Verdict
He hasn't won this year but there have been several good runs along the way, including when second to Clearpoint over C&D in September; not so good over 6f last time but this should be more suitable; should find it setting up for his come-from-behind style too.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.
