Form & Verdict
Just lost out on yard debut but has put a firecracker under his handicap mark since with three 1m wins (two C&D) since cheekpieces added; the winning margins are shrinking and is now 4lb higher than when a narrow winner 12 days ago so this might not be plain sailing.

Form & Verdict
Maiden on turf for Richard Hannon but has a better Polytrack record, winning at 1m/1m2f from seven AW starts; also acts on Tapeta; now 7lb below his latest winning mark last January and of interest for new yard.

Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years.

Had the run of things when winning over Newcastle's 1m in January and has since finished behind both Dosman and Angel Hunter; goes to work today off his 8lb lower turf mark but that's because he's 0-15 on grass.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Lightly raced since winning this last year off a 7lb lower mark; dictated steady fractions when winning his penultimate race at Newcastle (1m) and then well held off this rating at Southwell; may need everything to go like clockwork if he's to repeat last year's win off this higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Just three AW runs at 1m-1m1f on the AW and has won two of them (useful form in defeat in the other), the latest over C&D for new yard; has more to do in this company off 4lb higher but looks capable of better.

Not at the top of his game in four starts at Kempton and Southwell since returning from a break but all four AW wins have come over 7f-1m here and he's well treated on the form he showed at this time last year if a return to this venue sparks a revival.

Four-time Newcastle winner, latterly off today's mark early in the year; pulled hard in a messy affair on Polytrack last time and should do better back to Tapeta under a 7lb claimer who's enjoying a good spell.

Form & Verdict
Sole win over 7f on turf as 2yo; running well on AW and although no match for Zealot over C&D last month he does have a big weights pull with that one; another fair effort here on Sunday and should be thereabouts.
