Has raced exclusively on AW (mostly Polytrack) and strike-rate is 5-10; respectable fifth of 14 when 20-1 for valuable race at Newcastle on latest start but this is his first run beyond 1m, as well as first on turf, and he probably needs a career best; a bit to prove.

Handy sort who has gained three of his four wins here, the latest over this trip in June; runner-up off this mark back here (1m) three weeks later and goes well for Ethan Jones, but likely to need this first start in 168 days and has the outside stall.

Gained his first handicap success when getting up late in a 5f event at Southwell two weeks ago; the runner-up won next time and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; returning to 6f won't be a problem, fully effective on Polytrack and he's a strong contender.
