Won twice over about 1m6f last September; low-key seasonal return last month but he fared better, albeit beaten at a short price, at Nottingham 18 days ago; shouldn't be too far away.

J: Toby Moore

T: K R Burke

Tailed off on Musselburgh reappearance (1m6f, soft) last month but that was a rare blip and he's feasibly treated on his best form last season including two wins over this trip (good); dangerous if he can bounce back.

Progressed in his first three handicaps, winning over 1m4f on Wolverhampton's Tapeta in November/December; something can't have been right when well held there just before Christmas; absent subsequently and makes first turf start since his debut; remains with potential.

10-1 for his Nottingham debut in April (1m2f, good), a race where he misbehaved in the preliminaries and then dropped away to be beaten 15l having taken a strong hold; has a useful pedigree and the hood could help him settle on his return to action.

Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip.

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account.
