13/2

Comment: Both wins have been on AW (9.5f and 1m4f) but he has been in the first three on turf on three occasions; needs to bounce back following a poor run on heavy ground at Chepstow (1m4f) 32 days ago; returns to a sound surface and returns to 1m2f with cheekpieces removed.

Comment: Two AW classified wins earlier in the year; good fifth of 12 on Kempton AW in May but he ran below that level on turf debut at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 25 days ago; this trip can suit better.

Comment: 10yo who returned to some form when third of eight here over 2m nine days ago; drop in trip looks sure to suit but he is without a win in over three years; claims if he's able to back that up.
