Form & Verdict
Won on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) in October and good second there next time; again ran well when third under penalty in warm Wolverhampton novice (6f, Tapeta) last month and, while he continues to climb the weights, he's progressive and holds solid claims.

Ran well in the face of stiff tasks on his first two starts for John Ryan, finishing third in a Lingfield Listed event (7f) and a conditions race at Kempton (1m); did so again, at 80-1 but beaten only just over 3l, when sixth of eight in 7f Listed race at Newmarket on Friday.

Form & Verdict
All starts over 5f; second/third on first five outings (including on Tapeta) then won Chelmsford maiden in September; every chance he'll stay 6f and this handicap newcomer could be thereabouts on his return from a break.

Disappointing on handicap debut here (5f) last month when wearing first-time cheekpieces; however, the headgear is left off here and he's of interest on earlier 5f/6f form, including a close second on the Newcastle Tapeta.

Placed in three of his six runs as a 2yo, including a narrow defeat over 5f here in November; far too keen in a Southwell handicap 18 days ago but that race has worked out well and he is a key player back in a maiden.

Form & Verdict
More is needed than when fifth of nine on handicap debut at Chester (7f) in September last time out, but it was still a fair run and that tight track may not have been ideal; won a 6f novice at Salisbury the time before and he retains potential for his good yard; AW debut.

Half-brother to the very useful Dragon Symbol who's lightly raced and open to improvement; was drawn away from the action on his return from six months off on turf recently (gelded) and that was promising enough; is again drawn wide though.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't progressed since winning a maiden at Chester last May and he was well beaten when upped to 6f here last month; however, his staying-on fifth of six at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in November provided some optimism for this trip and he's edging down the weights, not written off.
