Made a winning return over C&D in December and has remained in form since, finding the race teeing up nicely for him here 13 days ago when coming home a comfortable winner; 5lb rise to deal with but likely to be arriving on the scene late. |

9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the 23rd attempt when making all at Southwell (5f) last month but that was in a small-field novice and this is tougher off his revised mark back in a handicap; has some work to do back up in trip in a race littered with confirmed front-runners. |

He's a longstanding maiden but he's pretty consistent and was runner-up in a Lingfield novice (6f, Polytrack) 12 days ago; also effective on Tapeta and he can be thereabouts. |

pressed leader, prominent 4f out, led from over 3f out, clear from over 2f out, ridden from over 1f out, weakened gradually inside final 110yds, headed final strides |

He was winning for the tenth time on AW when running out an easy winner of a 6f handicap here last week, an effort backed up by the Topspeed figure; fully effective at this shorter trip and a 5lb penalty won't stop him if he's in the same form. |

Has been eased in the weights since returning to the AW in August but continues to be vulnerable, even allowing for being out of the weights here last month; has it to prove for win purposes. |

Has won twice since October including over C&D last month but his form cooled at Wolverhampton last time; that was from a tough draw but he needs to step up again after that and this is competitive. |

Sole success in 23 starts came off 12lb higher at Haydock (7f, soft) last May but he's struggled since returning to AW in the autumn, including never a threat when dropped back to 6f at Chelmsford last week; mark continues to fall but not obviously in the form to take advantage. |

10st 2lb |
Sole success in 13 starts when just getting up at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) in January, but has to put a lesser effort in this headgear combination at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last time behind him; hasn't always looked the easiest, which would be a concern for jockey having his first ride. |

3rd Mar 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Led on the line in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton in January but again looked a tricky ride next time before he was stretched by 6f at Lingfield; comes with risks but he's capable and cheekpieces could help, as might the booking of Oisin Murphy. |
