Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f.

Looked a handful as a 2yo but he was gelded after his third run and he has been making hay in handicaps this month, winning three times at Southwell (6f/7f) in the space of six days; effectively 8lb higher than for the latest of them and tackling a different calibre of opposition today, but he is bred to be smart and this stiff 6f should be ideal.

Two wins as a 2yo and showed improvement switched to AW when a close second (third past the post) in a 6f Group 3 at Kempton last September; subsequent 7f Group 3 defeat at Newmarket easy enough to forgive; needs a career-best to overcome his revised mark but this stiff track should suit and there could be more to come on AW.
