J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Failed to beat a rival in three starts over 7f last autumn; having been gelded, he reappeared in a 1m classified here (soft) yesterday and won with something to spare, also shaping as though he would be suited by today's extra distance; has to be respected under 6lb penalty if running again.

Running consistently round here all year at the bottom level; no obvious reason he won't get involved again but this is a touch stronger having been nudged up another 2lb.

Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked.

His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap.
