Particularly successful on Tapeta but he was a wide-margin winner over C&D in June and again won from the front at Wolverhampton in his only subsequent AW run; the chasers were closing there but he had the race in the bag from some way out and, back up 3lb, he looks sure to go well again.

Last 23 starts have come on the AW and he is 4lb well in under a penalty for his emphatic success in refitted blinkers at Lingfield (6f) ten days ago; he has won twice on turf, though, so the change in surface shouldn't be an issue; major player.
