Form & Verdict
Sole win came over 5f on turf last year and he's 0-6 on the AW; however, he does have placed form and ran perfectly well from a wide draw at Chelmsford 12 days ago; better berthed today but he may need a bit more help from the handicapper.

Form & Verdict
Three Class 6 wins here early in the year; promising return to action at Wolverhampton last month and it's best to strike a line through latest effort as he pulled his way into contention from halfway and had nothing left in the closing stages; should come good soon but perhaps in a weaker race.

Won twice at Dundalk when trained in Ireland and he added two turf wins for this yard in the summer; not at his best more recently but he is back to his last winning mark and the return of cheekpieces (worn for all four wins) should spark an improved showing.

Good effort to win over C&D in February (performance backed up by the clock); off the track afterwards until proving no real threat over 6f here 18 days ago; should be sharper now but he is eligible for weaker races than this and may prove vulnerable again.
