0-8 for new stable this year but runner-up three times, most recently at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) four weeks ago; also suited by turf and will probably be okay over today's trip; no surprise if he features.

Just low-level hurdle form on his last two starts; last year's Flat best, which came over C&D, would give him a squeak but others look stronger for win purposes.

Form & Verdict
Never competitive in three AW novice/maiden runs in February/March for John Butler but displayed miraculous improvement to win by 9l on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) last month; likely to encounter faster ground here but it will be interesting to see how well he copes with today's 13lb higher mark; now trained by one of his part-owners.

All of his Flat success for this yard has been on AW, albeit with good-ground hurdle wins too and he was runner-up at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last August; has a run under his belt this term but to win this would require a new best performance on turf.

Mainly seen over hurdles these days but he finished second of ten at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) in October and had a good AW record last year (1112) including a win here (1m4f); attempts this far for the first time on the Flat and is off a career-high mark, but good chance if he stays.

Unexposed filly who appeared to show improvement when sixth of 14 (albeit well held) in fairly good maiden here (1m2f, good) last month, her third start; that form may not be reliable but, either way, further progress is possible from her in handicaps.

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.
