In good form on the AW since returning in February, easily justifying short odds at Chelmsford (1m2f) in March; no problem with the return to turf having won over this trip at Haydock (good) last August; can take a hold, but may settle better in this big field and he remains unexposed; a player.

Solid efforts in defeat in his first three handicaps, before taking his form to another level when winning a six-runner race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; he was 1-2 that day, made most and won in good style; 8lb higher and not nearly so well drawn but this could still be a good mark.

Lightly raced 4yo; two solid handicap efforts last autumn followed his Haydock maiden win in August (1m2f, good); strong favourite for his reappearance at Lingfield 19 days ago (1m4f) but he raced too freely early on and was picked off by a finisher; still has time to do better and he is a strong contender with Oisin Murphy back on board.

Lightly raced 4yo who won a Haydock maiden (1m2f, good) last August; took a strong hold in two handicaps in the autumn but he was beaten less 2l on both occasions including when an eyecatching fifth at Newmarket (1m4f) last time; still has potential and he's an interesting contender back from a break.

Hooded over 1m2f on all five starts; progressive, favourite when winning a Haydock maiden (good) in August and close third of ten, having taken a strong hold, on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft) four weeks ago; dam was best at about 1m4f and latest finish suggests it is well worth a try.
