Form & Verdict
Third of 13 at York on last summer's nursery debut and he's of serious interest if returning to that level (now 8lb lower); well held in two runs this year but they were over 7f and 1m; market useful now back sprinting.

Poor strike-rate and he hasn't been at his best since finishing second at Southwell in October; slipping down the weights but others arrive in better form.

Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though.

Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it.

Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm; beating Zuffolo and Kyber Crystal, from 5lb lower) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form at Hamilton subsequently, possibly inconvenienced by the draw; won on soft last year, so unlikely to mind whatever the weather does.

Ran well enough at Nottingham in April to think turf was fine and he's feasibly weighted on his best form; hasn't landed a blow the last twice but something bigger could be brewing and this trip should suit.

Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW.

Unplaced in all eight starts but he has shown promise and looked ready to exploit a reduced mark when fourth at Hamilton last month (6f, good to firm; held up and met trouble); Paul Mulrennan booked; of interest in a modest event.

Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D.

Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap.
