Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted.

Ideally suited by C&D, winning for the third time under these conditions when coming from off the pace to lead late in January; good second back here three weeks later and his latest lesser effort at Newcastle is excusable; not ruled out back at Southwell.

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
He was gaining his third course success when landing a classified event over C&D two weeks ago; the field went hard early there and were crawling home in the final 2f so it looks form to treat with caution; needs more back in a handicap.

All of his four AW wins have been at Southwell and latest was over C&D in May; well handicapped on that form but he's lost his way and was beaten 9l after a slow start at Wolverhampton last time; returns to his favoured track but he needs a major revival.

Has secured all four wins at Southwell, the latest off 1lb lower in May; sure to be suited by this return to Tapeta but has questions to answer after two poor turf runs (6f/7.4f).

Form & Verdict
0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light.

Ended a long losing run when running away with a 6f classified event here (soft) in June; suffered a troubled run through over 6f here last week, his first start for 114 days, and he should be in the thick of the action here granted any luck in running.

Got the winning habit this season, winning narrowly four times, including here, and going 11lb up the weights; they all came in 0-50 and 0-55 company but it wouldn't be a shock to see him complete the hat-trick back from a two-month break.
