Nine-race maiden who hasn't really improved for going into handicaps (2m3f-2m6f; 0-4) and was never remotely threatening last time at Cartmel; mark continues to fall and he's in good hands, so all hope not yet lost.

Has made the frame twice over hurdles and ran as though the run was needed when seventh of 12 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 15 days ago following a six-month break; steps up in trip and has dropped to a career-low mark; should not be far away.

Was attempting this far for the first time on the Flat when third of eight at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) at the start of the month, but only fourth of seven back there (1m4f) six days ago; worth another go at the trip and holds each-way claims.

Made all at Cattrick (1m4f, good) in April off a mark 3lb lower than today's and he caught the eye finishing strongly into third here over 2m a week ago; the drop back in trip doesn't look an obvious plus on that evidence but has to be respected.
