Form & Verdict
He didn't have to improve to win a 5f Chelmsford maiden in September but he did take a step forward when a close third at Southwell on his handicap debut 13 days ago, quickest through the middle part of the race and just tying up late on; remains capable of better.

Won a fast-ground handicap at Lingfield (5f) in May off 2lb higher; up and down since and when fifth of nine over C&D 17 days ago he had been backed into favouritism; too talented to discount at this level.

Five AW wins but 1-22 on turf and that was at Lingfield (5f, good) in May; has run well in all three course starts, including when losing his lead late on over C&D in June, and although problems at the start can hold him back, he's entitled to be involved.

Form & Verdict
Had some useful 5f form this summer; returned from a break with a solid second at Chelmsford last month but he took his form to the next level when easily landing a 6f nursery at Southwell five weeks ago; that form has been repeatedly boosted and although this will be tougher up 6lb, he's unexposed at the trip and has more to come.

The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go.

Form & Verdict
He has made a nonsense his opening handicap mark this winter, landing a gamble over 7f here in November (7f; excellent Topspeed figure for the grade) and winning his next two nurseries over C&D without breaking sweat (sent off at 1-3 and 1-5); 8lb rise for his latest win doesn't look excessive and he's a leading contender once again.

Untroubled to win his first three handicaps and now only 1lb higher than for the last of those; hasn't looked in the same form since being gelded in February, although soft ground was perhaps no help at Chester and the tongue-tie he tried there is swiftly removed.

Form & Verdict
Won his first two handicaps, both over C&D, and although he seems to have plateaued since his latest run (behind Huberts Dream) was a bit better than the bare figures would suggest; well up to winning off this mark but perhaps in a less-demanding handicap; blinkers replace usual visor today.

Form & Verdict
Little indication of what was to follow when he failed to beat a rival in three runs last summer, earning a BHA mark of 45 in the process; he hasn't looked back since being gelded and switched to nurseries, winning five time from 5f to 7f, recording a new peak RPR of 84 here (7f; first-time hood) last week; he's 13lb higher as a result and this is a much stronger race but quite possible he hasn't reached his ceiling just yet.

Generally struggled for this yard last year but he's become more realistically treated again now; last month's Newcastle reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but he has done his winning on AW and has something to prove on slow turf.
