Form & Verdict
Won three times on Polytrack (6f/7f) last winter; has very mixed record since his last success in February, but he returned to form with a close third over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) last month; finished just behind of Nubough in that race and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Six-race maiden but he's finished placed in his three handicaps and hit a personal best with his close second from a wide draw at Wolverhampton (5f; tongue-tie added) ten days ago; this step back up in trip should be fine and he has leading claims off unchanged mark.

Got off the mark with an odds-on win in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, Tapeta) in January but he's not gone on from that in four runs since; was forced wide over C&D last time but he finished behind Porfin in that race and it took his record to 1-14; others are more persuasive.

Two novice wins on turf (6f/7f) as a juvenile but she's 0-6 in handicaps this year and was a well-held fourth of nine at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) 25 days ago; mark continues to fall but has something to prove with blinkers added on this return to sprinting.
