9st 8lb

J: Jason Hart

T: Ivan Furtado

Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian; hasn't progressed and plenty to prove after some modest efforts this year, including back on turf at Thirsk last time (6f, good).

8st 10lb

J: Barry McHugh

T: Ivan Furtado

8lb lower than for his Newcastle third in December (6f) but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; hopes rest on the return to turf perking him up.

9st 3lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Ivan Furtado

Close third over 6f here in December and now 6lb lower; however, four lesser performances have followed and the return to 7f is of dubious benefit, with his three wins having been at 6f.

9st 5lb

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Ivan Furtado

Now 24lb lower than for his stable debut last May; the odd promising effort on AW this winter but he needs to leave a low-key C&D run 18 days ago (wide draw) behind him; the returning tongue-tie can help.

Front-running third at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but he's been below that level in two starts since, including in a first-time visor at Newcastle (5f) 16 days ago; switch of headgear.
