Drawn widest at Chester last time and was returning from 200 days off there the time before, but few positives can be gleaned; watching brief advised stepping up to 7f for AW debut.

Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) last October on second start; mid-division in Listed race later that month and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and this step up to 1m could prompt further improvement; lots to like.

Confirmed debut promise when winning at York (6f, good) last October before coming up short in Listed race here three weeks later; personal best needed on her first go in a handicap but she's lightly raced and in good hands.

Made a promising start when runner-up at Ascot (6f, soft) last month and she landed the odds with a comfortable success at York (6f, good) three weeks ago; now has her sights raised in this Listed event but she's bred to be smart and needs a close look for in-form yard.

Twice-raced gelding; seemed to run very well in Newmarket sales race (6f, good to firm; fifth of 20) last time; helps to set the standard on that form and his best sibling is an Ascot specialist.

Finished second in a Southwell novice last July on only AW start; has since shown decent form in various company at up to 7f on turf, with both blinkers and cheekpieces tried; sets the standard but he was only third at 8-11 at Redcar last time so probably vulnerable again.

Showed promise in defeat on all four starts last year, finishing fourth of 26 in a sales race at Newmarket (7f, good) in October when last seen; first-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers adopted last time; leading claims if at the top of his game on this reappearance.

Only had to do what he did at Ascot on debut (6f; fourth of five) to open his account over this trip at Chelmsford last time; has undergone wind surgery since (yard 4-11 with horses running for the first time following such a procedure) and he enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark.
