Dual Southwell winner who lacks consistency and was in no form when last seen in the spring; again goes without headgear back from time off and was below par in two runs here last summer; has a bit to overcome.

Regularly misses the break; form has nosedived since winning at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January, including when beaten nearly 15l in a similar event over C&D one month ago; can't be recommended at present.

Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break.

Form & Verdict
Best turf efforts at Bath; pulled hard and didn't see out 1m4f here last time, but he's lost his way since a Tapeta win (about 1m) in January and the switch from cheekpieces to a visor needs to help.

Form & Verdict
Three-time Polytrack winner who's having a rare run at shy of 1m2f, switched from the usual cheekpieces to first-time blinkers; this is the first time he's run in a 0-50 and he's entitled to have come on for a fair recent comeback after six months off.

All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces.

All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at.

Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting.
