All starts on good/good to firm; made it 2-3 in handicaps when upped in trip to beat Who's Lope over C&D in June; a line can be put through his subsequent second of three at Sandown as they went no gallop; up in grade today but unexposed at the trip and he's not ruled out.

Won two of his three handicaps (on good) and beaten a head in the other (good to firm); collared the odds-on front-runner close home when upped to 1m6f in eight-runner race at York last time; raised another 5lb but progressive and still promising.

J: Mark Winn

Progressive 3yo who landed three-runner event on his handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f) in May and went very close to defying a 4lb rise in another small field at Doncaster one week ago; up another 4lb but there's plenty of stamina in the family and this trip can unlock more.

Second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May, but he's not gone on from that and was beaten 9l at Nottingham last time; record is now 0-6 and he struggled in his only previous run on AW; bit to prove.

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: Jessica Macey

Best qualifying run over 1m and he found only one too good at Doncaster when back at that trip (good to soft) on handicap debut in May; up 4lb against unexposed rivals so improvement likely to be needed but conditions may be less of a problem for him than some.

Won twice in May and there have been varied excuses for his defeats since, latterly when suffering a torrid passage over C&D 18 days ago; things will fall right for him one day but ground slower than good will be a first for him.

Won twice over 6f on good ground in May; beaten favourite in his last four starts while leaving the impression this mark was still in range if things panned out better for him; shortlist material.

Doubled his tally when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and ran well when third here over 6f two weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added but he will likely need them to go a good gallop dropped back in trip.
