Form & Verdict
Standing dish here with all ten wins coming over 5f-7f at the track; bounced back from some moderate turf form with a decisive 5f win here latest, when supported; clobbered with a 10lb rise for that; hasn't won from a mark this high in over two years but is a player.

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.
