Fair weights chance, including on C&D form, but might prefer a stiffer test at 5f

Got up late to win at Epsom (5f, soft); more to do from out of weights in better race

Multiple AW winner; 0-14 on turf but does act on grass; wouldn't want to see much rain

Course form, including when 4th here last May, suggests others more at home on this track
