Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces.

All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra.

Has improved since switched to handicaps last month, finishing second of seven at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) and fourth of eight at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta), on both occasions shaping as though an even stiffer test would suit; down in grade and makes plenty of appeal.

Made a promising handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) last week, finishing nicely for second and improving on her 6f/7f efforts; gives the strong impression this even longer distance will be right up her street; open to further progress; respected off same mark.

Twice made the frame for Stan Moore at two but disappointing favourite last time; subsequent gelding operation and starting out for new yard over longer trip make betting best guide; hood goes on.

Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break.

Well held at increasingly big prices in his three runs at up to 1m3f, most recently when 11l fifth in a Kempton maiden (1m, Polytrack) three weeks ago; still unexposed and now goes handicapping with cheekpieces added but he needs to significantly raise his game.
