Form & Verdict
Typical Prescott 3yo who has improved for the step up in trip and handicaps (also a gelding operation) this season; improved on his handicap debut over 1m2f when 1.75l second of seven at Haydock last time (1m3.5f, good to firm); could progress again over 1m6f and he's a key player.

9st 0lb

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Turned over three times as favourite since handicapping, looking to have no excuses at Haydock before pulling hard over 1m6f when last seen two months ago; pedigree gives hope on the ground front, coming right back in trip in first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Best run as a juvenile when runner-up over 7.5f at Beverley in September (good); last of four when tried over 11.5f at Windsor last time, but was beaten only 2.25l and the third has since won at Bath; up in trip again with cheekpieces tried; interesting.

Won over C&D in November but that is her sole win from 20 starts and she's been out of sort in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces back on.

Unexposed; best run so far when third to a subsequent winner in a 1m4f Catterick maiden in April (good to firm); well below that form last time, but interesting up in trip on handicap debut.

J: David Allan

Has improved since being fitted with a tongue-tie on his last two starts and got off the mark at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last month; it remains to be seen if he can follow up on forecast quicker ground but he is at the right end of the handicap to progress.

Form & Verdict
Has improved for stepping up in trip in handicaps this season, although didn't look straightforward when head runner-up to an improver at Kempton last time (1m4f, standard to slow; first two clear) when his rider reported he hung both ways and ran too freely; may improve again at 1m6f; a possible if as effective back on grass.

1m6f seemed the best fit last year, including for a win at Yarmouth (good) in June and also when first past the post at this track (firm; demoted after bumping) in July; perhaps in need of the race when last of five on return four weeks ago and he needs a second look back here.
