Gained fourth career success off this mark over C&D in November; below best thrice since and latest third in a C&D claimer was remote; yard back in form but others make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
Modest fourth in Redcar claimer (7f) when last seen; withdrawn (upset in stalls) since; less appealing than the other handicap newcomers in this field and has something to prove off this opening mark.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: David Evans

His win came off 2lb higher here (9.4f) in May but he's not matched that since and has been well below form in his last two runs (1m2f); record now stands at 1-26 and has plenty to prove again with regular headgear removed.

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: David Evans

21st attempt when off the mark on Wolverhampton Tapeta (9.4f) in May off 2lb higher; has raced freely, so perhaps recent ventures over 1m2f have not been ideal, but he does not look the percentage call.

Steadily getting the hang of things, most recently third in small field at Lingfield (5f, AW) where he was dropped further in trip; bred to be as effective back at 7f; possibilities now handicapping.

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in August and pedigree provides some hope regarding this step up in trip; however, she's struggled on her last two starts (8.6f/1m, including here) and has something to prove.

Ready winner of a Wolverhampton nursery (extended 1m) in August off a 2lb lower mark; good second next time but her form has dipped twice since; the return to Class 6 company will help but others are open to more obvious progress.

Clear second off 3lb lower at Lingfield (7f) on latest AW start, showing improvement for gelding operation and/or switch to handicap company; cheekpieces now fitted; leading player, provided he's as effective on turf.

9st 8lb

J: Rob Hornby

T: Richard Spencer

Prominent racer who won three 6f nurseries on fast ground last season; chance on this season's best too but he failed to fire on turf at Lingfield last time (blinkered for the first time and now tried in a visor); should have the pace to cope with this return to 5f.
