Signs of inexperience before finishing well for fourth (of 13) at Kempton (7f) and highly likely that he'll show the benefit of that first run; didn't appear to be unfancied at 9-2, either.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance.

Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form.

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added.

Consistent RPRs in her three runs (7f/1m) and they were probably decent newcomers that she chased home at Kempton last time; leading form claims and races prominently, so there should be no excuses.

Half-brother to four winners and he's out of German 7f Listed winner; well held at biggish prices in three AW novice events (7f/1m) during the winter but he's been gelded since and could show a lot more now switched to a handicap on his return; needs a close look.
