11-race maiden who is unraced on Polytrack but he ran well when second at Newcastle (7f) this month, when denied a clear run, and can be in the mix if backing up that performance.

Remains winless but he got back on track when third of eight in 1m handicap here 19 days ago; can race off a 2lb lower mark here so he's very much one to consider.

In good form without winning until beating only two in 1m Southwell handicap four weeks ago; cheekpieces are removed now and no surprise to see him bounce back.

Only midfield on his Kempton debut (7f) last month but he built on that when finishing his race off strongly for second at Lingfield (6f) two weeks ago; capable of better.

Improved with each of his three runs in novice/maiden company, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Newcastle in September; another step forward when second to Saffron Dandy (followed up in warm race at Lingfield last week) on 6f Wolverhampton handicap debut in January and possibly found a second run after a break coming too soon when only sixth at Newcastle ten days later; freshened up since; could bounce back with a bang.

Improved with each of his three runs in novice/maiden company, getting off the mark in a four-runner event over C&D last September; another step forward when second of five on his recent handicap debut, meeting a bit of trouble early in the home straight; this is a stronger race but he hasn't reached his ceiling yet and is 2lb ahead of the handicapper.

Represents notable connections; showed some promise in small field at Newcastle (6f) in September, then had gelding operation; lesser effort over C&D on reappearance but may still do better.

In need of the experience when third of eight in a 5f novice at Ripon in June; that form has a solid look to it and he's open to improvement over the extra furlong; greatly respected.

Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering.

Comfortably held in heavy-ground Listed event in France when last seen; won well at Newmarket (7f, good) the time before, taking record in domestic races to 321; possibly remains open to further progress.
