Form & Verdict
Showed a bit of promise at both Redcar (7f, good) and Newcastle (6f, Tapeta), before being unable to get competitive over the latter C&D latest; likely slower pace over this longer trip may help and he's not ruled out.

Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit.

0-6; placed on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, Tapeta) last November; held since in both a handicap (7f, Polytrack) and back in novice company (1m2f, Polytrack); drops 3lb and back in trip; player if that helps but has that to prove.

Form & Verdict
Has made some improvement with each start (7f-1m), the last two on Tapeta; enters handicaps on a mark that looks a little stiff but goes back up in trip and if he can improve again he's a player.

Low-mileage 4yo; kept on for very respectable third of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) a year ago and can be excused his defeat on heavy turf in May but has fitness to prove after eight-month absence; others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Showed little in two turf sprints last summer, when with Joseph O'Brien; gelded after and produced a more promising effort when last seen at Dundalk (7f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers); has since changed hands and has his first run for this trainer; check for market confidence.

Debut winner for Richard Hannon last August but quickly went backwards and there's been no sign of arresting the slump in two starts for this trainer; headgear now called for and that needs to have a significant effect.
