Knuckled down to score at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm; 5-6 favourite) on penultimate start and in the mix from this revised mark at Windsor (11.5f; third) subsequently; few concerns about 1m4f around this sharp track, so this looks a good opportunity to add to his tally.

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Camelot colt who went close on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month before making virtually all in similar conditions at Redcar nine days later; this is tougher off 6lb higher but he pulled clear with the runner-up last time and he's still unexposed; respected.

T: Alan King

Made late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October and built on that when second of eight in novice at Southwell (1m3f, AW) two weeks ago; this is a warm race for handicap debut but it looks as if he will stay at least 1m4f.

J: Grace McEntee

T: Alan King

Showed promise with his late headway in two runs at Bath (1m, good to soft/soft) in October; should have more to offer over middle distances as a 3yo and he needs a close look on his return; gelded since his last run.

J: Luke Morris

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Fourth of 13 behind Talk Of New York on his third start at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last October, but having been gelded he looked one-paced when fifth of seven on handicap/turf debut at Windsor (11.4f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to improve for the cheekpieces, but that is possible.

J: Dylan Hogan

T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt

Beaten 10l or more in three 2yo runs (7f/1m) but his RPRs were progressive and this is more realistic on handicap debut; has been gelded and he needs a close look upped to this trip on his reappearance.

Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip.

Drawn away from the action on his nursery debut last backend and pulled hard upped to 1m2f on his comeback; likely he's capable of better but he was well held each time and is more exposed than some.

Her third 2yo run (1m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) was encouraging; last of five on her seasonal/handicap debut four weeks ago (1m4f, AW); should do better today.
