Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead.

0-10, but made a promising return from 181 days off when second of seven at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; each-way claims if as effective on AW debut.

Nine-race maiden in his first season last year, best form when making the frame twice over 6f; having been absent for six months, the market signals may offer further guidance.

3yo maiden who has frame possibilities on bits of form; chance of winning depends on how well he responds to cheekpieces (replacing the visor worn last time).
