Made the frame four consecutive times last July-September (1m3f-2m), but made a low-key reappearance last week and is probably better suited by a stiffer test of stamina than this now.

Yet to add to Irish win in 2021 and was safely held in basement-grade AW races on first two starts for Micky Hammond but, having attracted some market support, did well to finish fourth at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month, given he encountered traffic and suffered interference in the straight.

Form & Verdict
Has steadily worked his way back to form this season and put in good front-running shift when third in first-time blinkers at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; another 1lb lower here and will be fine over the longer trip; shortlisted.

Shaped as though ready to exploit some help from the handicapper when close second on Tapeta (1m4f) last month but his subsequent turf return was underwhelming and it's hard to know what to expect from him here.

Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

May still have had a bit left in the tank when narrow winner of Southwell novice (1m3f, AW) for Simon Pearce in December but was well beaten when upped to 1m6f for handicap debut there the following month and hasn't raced again since; sports first-time blinkers for today's stable/turf debut; remains unexposed; market may guide.

Debut only last August; scored by a head in 1m3f novice here in December and probably built on that when second of three to an easy long odds-on winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f); this trip looks plausible and, although she still has something to learn, she probably brings some potential to this handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Went close on Tapeta (9.4f) for James Ferguson in spring 2022 but this eight-race maiden finished well down the field when upped to 1m4f for this month's seasonal/stable debut and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.
