Made light of a five-month absence when making all in 5f handicap at Bath 35 days ago, holding on by a nose from The Thames Boatman; not taken lightly despite a 3lb rise.

Form & Verdict
Well back in a Newbury sales race in July; reliable in maidens and sellers at 5f-6f previously and there shouldn't be a problem with this stiff 5f; opening mark isn't generous but this isn't a strong race; involved.

Form & Verdict
Hinted at ability on second start, at Leicester, and he returned there for handicap debut (5f, good to firm) where his front-running effort petered out; needs to improve and this is another stiff track.

Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however.

Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference.

All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive.

Form & Verdict
Looked the type to improve for handicaps and made favourite on Chelmsford AW (5f) this month, but was hampered twice and never competitive; should be suited by this stiff test at the trip and can do better.

0-11 but gave good account when second in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month and his recent defeat over 7f there is not viewed harshly; swaps hood for first-time cheekpieces; could have a say.
