Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes.

Confirmed earlier promise here when getting off the mark in handicap over C&D ten days ago; up 6lb but had something to spare there so merits serious consideration.

Returns from a mammoth absence but only narrowly failed to justify strong market support in a 2m7f handicap at Market Rasen when last seen; returns off 1lb lower; the market could be instructive.

Returned from 903-day absence with win at Ffos Las (3m, good; heavily backed) in May but was much weaker in the betting when pulled up over 2m4f on consecutive appearances in the autumn; perhaps the market will again provide a good guide here.

Backed into favouritism when defying a mammoth absence to make all at Ffos Las (3m, good) in May; this unexposed 8yo may be able to take a 6lb rise in his stride; interesting to see if there's similar market confidence.

Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up.

Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today.
