C&D winner last month off 8lb lower and the following week suffered a fall at York; good to see him bounce back from that with a respectable show at Hamilton; this mark might be on the high side.

Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark.

Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) on Sunday, and given the style of that success he looks an attractive proposition under a 5lb penalty; high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Headstrong sort but he's taken his form up a notch since cheekpieces went on, scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June before beaten a nose when a clear second at Doncaster (1m) since having hung badly left in front; not the easiest of rides but a player once more here.
