9st 8lb

J: James Doyle

T: George Boughey

Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance.

2-2 as 2yo and progressive last term in his first three handicaps, short-headed by another unexposed sort at Leicester (1m4f) on third occasion; underperformed on heavy going (he won on it as a 2yo) when joint-favourite for the November Handicap at Doncaster on final outing but that's not hard to forgive and this lightly raced 4yo, gelded since latest start, surely has more to offer.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Won both starts over 1m as a juvenile and two good runs in handicaps, especially the latest when running on well to push a relatively unexposed winner close at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft); might have won that day had the pace been stronger and he's only 3lb higher here over a longer trip.

Won both starts over 1m as a juvenile, including on heavy; didn't reappear until mid-August and shaped promisingly if a view is taken that the run was needed when fading late on to finish third of five in 1m2f Newbury handicap on good to firm; interesting.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: George Boughey

Got on top late on in a maiden here (1m, good) one year ago and knuckled down well to account for a pretty useful rival in novice at Bath (1m, heavy) last October; this is a rather belated reappearance but he's had big-race entries in his time and is a fascinating handicap newcomer.
