Wouldn't judge him harshly on his two turf defeats this summer but even his best AW form needs bettering if he is to come out on top here.

Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly.

In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass.

C&D winner; running well in handicaps this winter before a fine second in Listed company at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; the 10lb hike for that will surely leave him vulnerable.

Still improving and his latest Lingfield success (7f) was just reward for a string of good placed efforts this year; has a stiff task at the weights but likely he will fare better than they suggest.
