Form & Verdict
Beaten a long way in three novice/maiden events (7f/1m) on Polytrack in the autumn but he's out of a useful 1m4f/1m6f winner and looks a possible improver now upped to this trip on his handicap debut; been gelded and market should be informative after 111 days off.

Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Has finished down the field in all of his four runs but he made some late headway when fifth on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f; first run since gelded) last month; that was more encouraging after a break and he could have more to offer on his step up to this trip.

Still to win after eight starts but his close second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February represents a very strong piece of form for the grade; disappointing that he hasn't built on it since but he has the ability to go close if the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect.

In rear in three 7f novice events this winter but he has quite a lot of stamina in his useful pedigree and could look a different proposition now upped to this trip on his handicap debut; on lowly mark and he's one to keep a close eye on for top yard.
