Three wins in 2023, two of them over this C&D; blinkers were added for the first time here last month and he recorded a career best in finishing second of the nine runners (unlucky in running); should go well again.

Three of four wins have come over 1m2f at Chelmsford, the latest an easy success in January; should appreciate the return to the AW after finishing out of the frame in two starts on turf, but this is the longest trip he has ever attempted.

Four wins on AW but 0-6 on turf (has run well on good to firm); switching from blinkers to cheekpieces didn't help matters at Ripon last month and he now returns to 1m; others appeal more.

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender.

Unable to add to his debut win when trained by Richard Hannon; shaped well enough on his stable debut at Newcastle (1m) last month; return to this longer trip in his favour and he's not discounted.

0-13 since his successful racecourse debut and although he ran well when fourth of ten on stable debut here (1m) in December, he has failed to beat a rival in both starts since; plenty to prove.

Trained by Richard Hannon for a successful debut; has gone 0-12 in the meantime but it was a respectable stable debut over C&D in December and perhaps Chelmsford didn't suit last time.
