Running well on turf lately, winning at Leicester (1m, good) last month and beaten a neck and a head into third of 11 at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) ten days ago; failed to beat a rival over C&D in April, but still respected on recent efforts and is 1lb well in.

His breakthrough win had been coming and he dug deep at Leicester a fortnight ago (1m, good); up 3lb but he's consistent.

Nine-race maiden who is in form, having performed creditably the last twice, running-on fifth at Epsom (8.5f) latest occasion; has edged down the weights; first win is not out of the question.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: Dr Richard Newland

No wins in eight and hasn't been that threatening in any of his five handicaps (7f-1m2f); dropping back to 1m may help when he can race freely; others still preferred.

0-7; showed ability in his first two starts last year, but hasn't built on it and the step up in trip made little difference when fifth of seven at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month, albeit the form of that race has worked out well; still more needed.
