Won twice on AW (6f) last November, both in good style; second in a good race at Newcastle on New Year's Day (6f; handicap debut) and chased home Big Evs at York's Dante meeting when sporting cheekpieces for the first time; well beaten at Royal Ascot but he retains potential and this test should suit; one to consider.

Impressive in two AW events last November (6f); good second at Newcastle on his handicap debut in January before a lesser effort back there on Good Friday; showed turf was no problem when chasing home Big Evs at the York Dante meeting (5f, good; cheekpieces first time); today's stiffer test should suit; still capable of better.

All five starts on AW; impressive in 6f maiden/novice events last November, then went close off lofty mark on handicap debut at Newcastle on New Year's Day; disappointing at Newcastle in March and this is a tough race in which to try to bounce back on turf debut, but he should have the speed for 5f and is not written off in first-time cheekpieces.
