J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Mike Murphy

Low-grade eight-race maiden; some promise this year but his last two runs were short of his best; not solid.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Mike Murphy

Returned from break with low-key AW run last month and now unplaced in all seven starts but he still has possibilities from his lowly mark if that recent outing has brought him on.

Signs of life since handicapping and started favourite for a similar race round Chelmsford when last seen five months ago; low mileage compared to the rest of these and is one of the more interesting contenders.

9st 9lb

J: Neil Callan

T: Mike Murphy

Five-race maiden whose last three starts have been over 7f here with a hood fitted (now missing); has finished fourth in both handicaps and did well to finish as close as he did last time after blowing the start; bred to be suited by the return to 1m and could go well.

J: Josephine Gordon

T: Mike Murphy

Well held at big prices in his three qualifying runs and was a never-dangerous fourth of six on handicap debut over C&D in October; still early days but slow starts have been an issue so far and he needs improvement.
