Very lightly raced 6yo but he's struggled at big prices in all of his runs including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in November; now switches to turf but he needs a transformation after six months off.

Form & Verdict
Well held at big prices in his three runs, most recently when 11 fourth at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; has plenty to find back on turf and minor nurseries will be more suitable.

Limited maiden for two yards (5.7f-8.7f) who's been off for three months having refused to enter the stalls when last due to run (28-1 at the time); hard to make a case for him back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Only third of five at Southwell (5f, AW) on recent stable debut but that was after 194 days off and he sets a clear standard on his two frame efforts for the Gosdens in the spring; now switches to turf but he has a heavy-ground winner on dam's side and should be hard to beat if he can get back near best.

Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance.

Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now.

Form & Verdict
Finished a 6l third of three on his Southwell debut (6f, AW) last month but he ran green behind a useful prospect in that race and should know much more this time; looks a possible improver on this switch to turf and his dam won on heavy.
