Form & Verdict
Three different trainers for first three runs; showed ability on first two starts (1m/7f, including on Polytrack) and kept on for promising fifth of nine in Wolverhampton maiden (5f, Tapeta) three weeks ago on stable debut; has potential off opening mark, especially now back up in trip.

J: Mr Fletcher Yarham

T: Dylan Cunha

Won this year at Lingfield (7f, AW) and Sandown (1m, good) in two of his five handicaps; the latter was an amateurs' race under Fletcher Yarham; tongue tied when below form on latest outing, so he isn't today; going beyond 1m for the first time gives him a fair bit to prove but having Motivator as the dam's sire gives some hope.

Needs to prove he can still get the job done, having finished second on nine of his last ten starts, most recently over C&D last Monday; however, his consistency is admirable and he can be bang there once more.

T: Tony Carroll

Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear.

Three-time course winner who got up close home at Chelmsford (6f) in November and was effective over 7f earlier in career; however, he's finished down the field here and at Kempton the last twice, and has to bounce back.
