0-7; fifth of eight at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) earlier in the month but he was 12l behind Hashtagnotions at Beverley (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago; steps up in trip (out of a French 1m2f winner) on this return to AW.

Dam won over 1m2f and he fared better for tackling this longer trip, in first-time cheekpieces, a fortnight ago; still to finish placed and will need another forward step if he's to get off the mark though.

Lightly raced 3yo whose dam won over 1m2f and he's going beyond 7f for the first time today; cheekpieces are another possible source of improvement but he needs to take a major step forward from his two handicap runs.

Form & Verdict
It took a bit of time to get this £115,000 purchase at last year's breeze-ups to the track but he made a promising start when second of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; open to improvement and the one to beat.

J: David Nolan

T: David O’Meara

Made all for two short-odds wins at Ripon (6f/5f) in the summer, but was then only eighth of ten on handicap debut at Newmarket (6f; raced freely and faded) two weeks ago; hard to pin down at present but he's still low mileage and there's a reasonable chance we've not seen the best of him yet.

Unexposed 3yo who comes here after two short-odds wins from the front at Ripon (6f/5f); tackles stronger opposition on this handicap debut but it's very hard to gauge the limit of his ability.

By Cracksman out of a 1m winner so not an obvious candidate for 5f; that said, she has shown some speed in her races, including over 7f on her handicap debut here two weeks ago; others still more appealing.
