Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

0-16 but made brave bold from the front before weakening into third at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month and faced impossible task when second of four behind well-handicapped rival here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be suited by this drop back in trip; dangerous if allowed to dominate.

Much better on his handicap debut/comeback and simply bumped into one at a short price at Redcar (gone on to win three more); longer trip should be fine on pedigree and his claims are obvious.

Opened account at eighth attempt, with clearcut success in five-runner Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but the runner-up has won in that grade since and this filly might still have more to offer.

Modest form on his first eights starts but he did step forward a little to convincingly make the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) 18 days ago; that was his first go at 1m6f so this further step up in trip may help him to defy a 6lb rise.
