Transformed by blinkers this year, making all in three 1m handicaps at Chelmsford; well drawn to attack but he will need a big personal best to score at this level.

All three wins have come at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) this year and he had five of these behind him there last time; would have been a major player if this race had been run at that venue despite another 5lb rise, but one visit here proved inconclusive as regards the suitability of this track.

Four-time winner who went close at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November; did all of his best work late on when fourth of seven over that same C&D 27 days ago, shaping as if he could be suited by the return to this trip.

Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix.

Related to a few useful winners, including on Tapeta; not much has gone right since a Polytrack win over 1m in the winter and better can be expected at this lower level and back up in distance, so is one to consider.
