Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again.

Solid effort to justify favouritism on his C&D comeback in March, having been gelded, when held up off an ordinary pace; backed that up when one of three to come away behind a cannily ridden winner on turf latest and holds leading claims upped 2lb.

Soundly beaten when back on turf at Musselburgh (1m, good) this month but may have been unsuited by first-time cheekpieces (which are now left off); running well over 1m on AW previously, when shaping as though this longer trip may suit, and he's not ruled out.
