Won Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good to soft) for Milton Harris last December but he has a mixed record since; wasn't beaten far when third of five at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but he's now 1-11 over hurdles and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo who has won on either side of finishing fourth at York, last time making fairly light work of four rivals at Ripon (1m4f, good); moving sharply up the weights (raised 5lb for last time) but clearly a contender.

Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however.

Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him.

Bred to improve with distance/experience and she never got the breaks when midfield on her handicap debut at Windsor (11.4f); interesting that punters sent her off favourite that day.

Off the mark at the tenth attempt when scoring at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June but she was held in a 4l third over same C&D last time; that was a respectable effort but she needs more back at this trip and is untried on slow ground.

Has worked her way back into form for new stable this season and just held on to prevail by a neck when upped to this trip here (good to firm) nine days ago; still unexposed over 1m6f and 2lb nudge ought to be manageable; high on the list.

Form tailed off for previous yard and has taken time to find her feet for this one after wind surgery; didn't do anything in a hurry at Yarmouth recently (extended 1m3f, good to firm) but made relentless late headway to be a close third to in-form rivals; of interest up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Only just failed to get up on his handicap debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) but Sandown was disappointing, albeit in a better race; has the ability to feature off this mark and he's over a new trip and in first-time cheekpieces.
