Off the mark for his new yard with a C&D success on Boxing Day, running on well in the straight; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing and Billy Loughnane is 2-5 for the stable.

J: David Egan

Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive.

J: Zac Lloyd

Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye.

Completed a Polytrack hat-trick when scooting clear in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last week; 3lb well in under a penalty and should have the pace to cope with this drop back in trip, albeit it remains a slight query.

In decent form for Jack Jones in the spring and, after a close second on his stable debut in June, he won at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July and Kempton (1m, AW) last time; drawn on the wing and he's up 3lb but the hat-trick must be a possibility.

Resurgent 4yo who has form figures of 23221 since April and beat a clear second when scoring at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month on his second run for James Owen; a 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player back on AW.
