Good Flat horse who won his first two starts over hurdles before a close second behind Minella Study in a Listed race at Wetherby (2m, good) in October; still has potential in this sphere but he was only 12th in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month and needs to resume his progress in this tough race; visor added.

Short-headed at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) in June and went one better in good style at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; well below form on latest start but that was on soft ground, which may provide the reason; in the mix if bouncing straight back with today's surface.

Five-time winner over 1m2f on AW for Mick Appleby; second of three behind a much more highly rated rival in a Gowran conditions event (9.5f, good) on stable debut last month but form dipped when back on AW two weeks ago; plenty of turf form gives him a place chance but others bring stronger cases and this is only his second run beyond 10.5f.

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass.

Only wins in 31 starts were over 1m in France and the Crisfords failed to win with him; however, six runs for Michael Keady have yielded competitive runs over hurdles and in a small-field 2m handicap at Newbury; 1m3f perhaps too short these days so Windsor last time is forgiven (in trouble before the saddle slipped).
