His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run.

Dual Flat winner for Dermot Weld; ran twice at the big recent meeting at Galway, predictably struggling in a Listed hurdle but then running okay over 1m4f; 0-5 as a jumper but was runner-up over C&D last month; chance.

Form & Verdict
Switched to front-running this year, including with Tapeta wins over 1m4f here in March and 2m at Southwell in April when last seen; that's career-best AW form but this race is a much higher grade and should be much harder to boss.

Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work.
