Handy sort who has run consistently well since the visor went back on including when second of eight over C&D ten days ago; races off the same mark, but a losing run of 30 and the outside stall suggest another placing may be his best hope.

Seven-race maiden; made the frame a couple of times over similar trips on turf last year but has shown little since returning in April; particularly poor in both starts since returning from a gelding operation last month; needs the switch to the AW and first-time cheekpieces to bring about a resurgence.

Couple of respectable efforts this year, including a fifth of 14 at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month, but he's an inconsistent 11-race maiden and was tailed off at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) last time; others are more convincing.
