Last year's three wins came at Lingfield but he's run well here a few times; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark (5lb above his highest successful rating) but having a 5lb claimer (1-24) up may help.

Ex-Irish gelding who can pull hard but who's proving consistent for his new yard; is 1lb well-in off the back of last Thursday's Chelmsford second and will rightly be popular under Liam Wright, who has plenty of experience for 3lb in this company.

Enjoying a good winter, with three 7f course wins to his name; another solid effort on Tapeta last Friday off this mark (due to go up 1lb from tomorrow) but is having a first try at sprinting since his 2yo days in Ireland, which is the niggle.

His four wins have all come on Polytrack, never off a mark this high, and he is still to finish placed after ten runs on turf; has done most racing over 7f and doesn't arrive in any form, so has a good bit to overcome.

Ran well first time out as a 2yo, which is a plus back from five months off (has been gelded); the blinkers experiment is quickly binned and he's handily drawn for one happiest up front but he remains 4lb above last summer's winning marks.
