Not bred for this sort of trip but turned in his best effort to date last Tuesday, upped to 1m6f on his Tapeta debut; that was only a 0-55 in which he again started a big price but it gave something to build on.

Low-level form in his four runs for previous yard and they went very steady when he was 4l third of five on stable debut at Newcastle (2m) four weeks ago; questionable what he achieved there.

1m3f winner for Denis Quinn; back from nearly a year off with a third at Wolverhampton (2m; stable debut) where she was held up off a steady pace; should build on that and go close if this pans out more favourably.

Dual-purpose gelding whose sole win came in a 1m6f AW handicap last October off 6lb lower; has performed well under both codes since, last time third of 24 in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April; fast ground might not be ideal, so any rain would be a blessing.
