Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look.

Went close over C&D (good to firm) last month and 1m seemed to stretch him back here since (all wins at 7f, including here); his last success came off this mark; likely to be on the premises under Rodriguez.

Returned from a break with good third at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and he went very close here (7f, good to firm) last Friday; he's done all of his winning at 7f but can be in the mix if the return to 1m isn't an issue.

Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time.
