Form & Verdict
Has 8 AW wins to his name including a C&D Group 3 score; got back to winning ways over 1m4f two starts ago before running a cracker over C&D last time when the slow pace didn't suit; creeping up the handicap again but highly respected as seemingly the stable selected runner.

Form & Verdict
Won a 1m maiden here in December before a below-par effort in a handicap over the same trip; was probably flattered by his run in a C&D conditions race since but was raised 4lb for that, so has to improve more.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap on his final start for Mick Halford in October; has run well after an absence in the past and has the benefit of his capable claimer's 7lb concession; the market could be informative.

Comfortably got off the mark on second start for this yard when taking a 1m maiden last time; raised 4lb for that and up in trip but damline offers hope that she will stay, so is of interest.
