Lightly raced in recent years and not an easy horse to weigh up at present but returned from break with quite encouraging fourth of seven on last month's stable debut at Lingfield (7f) and has possibilities if able to build on that performance here.

Low-mileage and progressive 5yo who collected two 1m Polytrack wins in October; managed only fourth after racing a bit too freely at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November and not seen again since but today's drop back in trip is an interesting move; had wind op soon after latest run.

Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid.

Just two Tapeta runs, winning the latest at Newcastle (7f) last January; treading water for much of 2023 but down in the weights and his recent second at Chelmsford (7f; short-priced favourite) was a lot better; can be effective back at 6f but this is a quick return for one who regularly has breaks between races.

A maiden after 13 runs and seems to have some quirks; might have been unlucky not to open his account at Wolverhampton (8.6f, first-time hood) last month, where he came from the rear and was denied a clear run before snatching second close home, but there are safer options here.
