Back in better form (over 5f/5.5f) this month, winning AW classified event then solid second (behind a rival who was on the middle leg of hat-trick) in Wetherby handicap; has won over 6f; 0-14 on turf but holds a fighting chance.

Form & Verdict
More troughs than peaks on AW since August but this headgear combination seems to suit and he confirmed some 5f promise at Chelmsford two runs ago when winning over that trip here last week; drawn wider today but effectively just 3lb higher and is well treated on past 6f form.

Infrequent winner (2-29); placed six times on AW since narrow win at Wolverhampton (6f; 18-1) in early January; failed to figure from a wide draw at Catterick (7f) latest so needs to bounce back; more appeal than stablemate Kitaab.

Doesn't find winning easy (2-28) but is consistent for the level; third in four of his last five AW starts, including when keeping on behind Mount Ruapehu at Southwell (6f; 14-1) 23 days ago; wide draw isn't ideal for turf return; stablemate of Indy's Angel.

Form & Verdict
Acts on both AW surfaces, although all four wins on Polytrack, most recently in late 2023; ran his best race for a while when runner-up at Southwell (6f; winner won again since) but not as good since and this may not provide enough of a stamina test for him.

Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago.
