9st 8lb

J: Jason Hart

Won over C&D in October before a good second at Southwell the following month; no impact after a slow start here on Boxing Day but that was against a pace bias and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice in the spring (7f/1m) but hasn't fired lately, and was particularly disappointing when upped to 10.2f at York recently; has dropped to a tempting mark for today's AW debut but has a point to prove.

Form & Verdict
Went close in Goodwood maiden in April and subsequent fifth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) was perfectly respectable; combination of 1m2f and a first-time visor (now removed) didn't pay dividends in July but he was gelded soon afterwards and probably still has potential; AW debut.
