Six wins from 37 starts, the most recent success coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; ran respectably here on the AW 19 days ago, taking his form figures since the visor was applied to 314, but he's 0-7 on turf.

Aided by new visor on his two starts this year, latterly when exploiting a much reduced mark at Southwell (1m) last month; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this C&D also suits; shortlisted.
