Came good at seventh attempt, with cleacut success at Wetherby (7f, good) last month, and didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on third behind all-the-way winner at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains very much of interest.

Justified favouritism at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago, proving suited by the drop back to 7f and opening his account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but remains unexposed at this trip; shortlisted.

Inconsistent gelding who is yet to add to last spring's 6f novice win; ran big race in defeat behind Ten Commitments at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month but finished well down the field over that C&D 18 days ago; hard to predict.

Not living up to his pedigree but displayed ability in three AW maiden/novice races in January-March (6f-7f) and, having been gelding in the meantime, has plenty of scope for improvement on this turf/handicap debut; hooded for first time.

Fair comeback recently, having been gelded, and is now tried in a visor (pulled hard in cheekpieces last summer); is yet to get involved in a finish and it's possible he just started handicap life on an unrealistic mark.
