J: Rob Hornby

T: Andrew Balding

Low-mileage 4yo who ran well behind Constitution Hill in AW novice event on reappearance; rather disappointing in handicaps since but may stage a turnaround if he settles; raced too freely last time.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Andrew Balding

Made a winning debut at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last September and finished a 2l second of eight behind Constitution Hill in a novice over this C&D in March; however, he didn't get home when sent off favourite on his handicap debut at Newbury (2m) and was tailed off at Ascot (1m4f) in May; returning to the AW may help.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Won Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) on debut last autumn and best of the rest behind superstar hurdler Constitution Hill in Kempton novice (1m4f again) on his return in March; on the back of that he was sent off 11-10 favourite for his 2m Newbury handicap and turf debut three weeks ago but pulled too hard; retains potential back down in trip, but the outside stall has the potential to make life awkward.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Won Southwell maiden (1m4f, AW) in September on debut; second favourite to superstar hurdler Constitution Hill in Kempton novice (1m4f, AW) last month and chased him home 2l adrift, perhaps giving him more to think about than had widely been expected; not easy to pin down but 2m is plausible and his connections presumably like the look of his opening handicap mark.

J: Callum Hutchinson

T: Andrew Balding

Gained his Southwell 1m4f success six months ago in a time over three seconds slower than Constitution Hill recorded over the same C&D last month; however, this once-raced gelding is open to progress and, being so unexposed, looks one of the brighter opponents to the Henderson star.
