Three runs on the AW, the best on debut when third at Dundalk; didn't look straightforward when tried in cheekpieces at Wolverhampton latest; lots to prove in this big-field handicap.

Two staying wins on AW last winter and has since won over hurdles but he was tailed off in the latter discipline when last seen in October and, reappearing over 1m2f, others are higher up the list.

2l and a place behind Squeezebox at Warwick latest, though that sixth still represented stronger form than that of June's Worcester hurdling debut win (2m, good); liable to remain vulnerable under his penalty on that evidence, but this doesn't look as deep a contest as last time.

Form & Verdict
Cost $435,000 as a yearling and related to several winners in America; underwhelming stuff thus far but it has been on slow ground and she could be seen in a very different light under these conditions on handicap debut; market informative.

Just one win from 28 attempts, but has been knocking on the door in recent starts here; fourth over 10.5f in November before taking third spot next two times; squeezed out when one-paced upped in trip over C&D last time; this trip may not be his optimum.

Form & Verdict
Best maiden effort came on good ground at the Curragh, finishing seventh; failed to raise his profile on handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m2f), having been gelded, but the ground was heavy and he raced keenly; under these conditions and with blinkers tried, he's dangerous to dismiss.
