J: Charlie Tucker

T: Rod Millman

Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off.

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present.

Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark.

9st 7lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Johnston

Was nothing special at Leicester last month but he'd impressed there (1m, good to firm; twice missed races on that surface) in June and first-time cheekpieces may have helped when chasing home an in-form rival at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) last week; 3lb well in; good claims.

Much improved to appear from midfield and win comfortably at Leicester (1m, good to firm) but was only third next time off this 9lb higher mark (went off 8-13); had a longer break this time and tries cheekpieces; respected.
