Form & Verdict
In good form last autumn, including an easy win in a Bath apprentice handicap (1m5f, soft) and finishing second of ten over this C&D; needs to step up from last month's reappearance back here (1m4f), but may well do so.

Scored at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September but he's had only two runs this season and has been tailed off in both of them; now back on last winning mark but has plenty to prove and he's drawn out wide; tongue-tie reapplied.

Won off 1lb lower at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September, but he's had only three runs since and was tailed off on his Wolverhampton reappearance last month; has some questions to answer and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Sole success when beating Albert Lasker by 6l in a Catterick novice (1m4f, good to firm) last August and he made a promising return when third of six behind a subsequent winner at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely he still has more to come and respected.

Went back-to-back over C&D and at Chester last summer; 0-10 since last success but that was off 5lb higher and he gave it a good shot when a close third at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week; has leading claims if he can back that up and he's still unexposed on AW.

Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) and he's been beaten 3l or less on his last four starts, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) four weeks ago; soft ground would be an unknown but he's below his last winning mark and drops back down in grade.

Consistent first year with Ruth Carr, winning over 1m5f at Hamilton in July and reaching the frame on six other occasions; possible soft didn't suit when below par latest; had course form for previous yard; considered.

Form & Verdict
Record over 1m6f/16.5f here in the early months of last year read 31211 and his two runs for this yard suggest the ability remains, as when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in January; still on his last winning mark and should go well.
