Scored comfortably at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and narrowly got the better of a serious battle for eight-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in March on reappearance; raised 4lb but that latest start is solid form and this scopey, long-striding sort, who's well related, looks set for further improvement, including at 1m4f.

Eight-race maiden, with new yard this season; upped to 1m2f, hooded and came from the rear on last two outings when close third to Arc Ole Ole at Doncaster (good to soft) and second of eight at Nottingham (good); shapes as if he'll get 1m4f, despite speedy family.

Well-related gelding who has done well since switched to handicaps, winning on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in January and going close at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's an interesting contender at this new trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Better since fitted with a hood, placed over 8.5f here (fillies' maiden) on penultimate start, and ran to a similar level on handicap debut at Doncaster (fifth; 1m2f) latest; pedigree suggests that she'll handle this extra yardage; chance.

Off the mark on her eighth start as a juvenile when landing Nottingham nursery (good, made all) over this trip in October; not disgraced in Listed company next time but weakened over 1m2f (good to soft) on her reappearance one month ago; might do better back at this distance with the run behind her.

Found a bit when stepped up to this trip here five weeks ago, getting up in the final strides to beat the only other runner in camera shot; doubt he's done improving and Harry Davies chooses him over stablemate Toastmaster, who he's ridden in four of his five starts.
