Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence.

Turf maiden winner who showed spark as recently as January (AW) and he's dropped down the weights; however, he's struggled on grass on his last two starts and a major turnaround is needed in first-time blinkers.
