Presents a quandary as he sets a clear standard on penultimate effort but is quirky and proved a very disappointing favourite last time (gelded since); not one to take a short price about.

Patchy form for David O'Meara last term but won in June (good to firm; first-time hood) and ran a corker when third of 21 in valuable Ascot handicap (good) in July; back in form when slightly unlucky second at Newcastle (also 7f, AW) in October and sold for 40,000gns later that month; hood (absent when disappointing on final start) missing again; tongue tied for stable debut and warrants a market check.

Campaigned mainly in hood for current yard, winning on turf in June and close second on AW most recently; may remain competitive, provided the removal of the headgear doesn't have negative effect.

J: Jack Garritty

Quirky 4yo; won well at Leicester in June (7f, good to firm; hooded first time) and his third at Ascot in July was an excellent effort; a few quiet efforts from August onwards but he would likely have gone close here (1m) last week had he seen any daylight; the forecast strong headwind could favour something coming from off the pace and no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark; high on the list.

0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since.

Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted.

Bright start for new yard when getting up late to make a winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW; 20-1) in May; backed it up from 2lb higher when second of 13 over that C&D in June; three-month absence to overcome but he's unexposed; turf debut.

No progress in three qualifying runs for Clive Cox last season but he made a bright start for new yard when scoring on handicap debut over C&D (20-1) last month; that was a narrow success but he was strong at the finish and is only 2lb higher here; respected.

Has good pedigree and he showed some promise in three runs for Clive Cox last year, including a debut fourth over C&D; changed hands for 26,000gns in October; this unexposed 4yo now goes handicapping for new yard and he needs watching in the market on return.
