Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break.

Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today.

Made the frame in 6f maidens at Windsor and at Ffos Las in August, showing bright speed in the process; sold out of Sir Mark Todd's stable for 38,000gns in October and gelded; wears a tongue-tie for his stable debut and he's a potential big improver.

Didn't progress for Sean Woods after making a winning racecourse debut last April; didn't run badly when third in a 5f nursery at Wolverhampton when last seen in October (wore hood and first-time blinkers); returning to 6f can help on her stable debut but she goes without the blinkers this time.

Can miss the break and is often ridden from off the pace (every chance she will be again from stall 12); notched a third C&D win when taking a small-field affair against her own sex off 2lb lower in April; slight drop-off latest and has to bounce back.

1-6 when trained by Brian Meehan with the win coming in a 6f fillies' maiden at Newcastle in November; didn't run badly under a penalty at Wolverhampton 11 days later; makes her stable/handicap debut at a realistic level and she could yet rate higher over this trip.

Won 6f course maiden for Brian Meehan; easy to back and found little on stable debut at Southwell last month (6f) but the drop to 5f is worth a go and she remains of interest for yard that does well with sprinters.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when getting up late in a 6f maiden at Newcastle 11 days ago (runner-up very green when looking to have things sewn up); penalty to shoulder back up in distance (effective over 7f) but likely to be involved.
