0-9 since his early 2yo wins and has lacked consistency this season; good chance off current mark, provided he's suited by the step up to 7f.

0-8 since his early 2yo wins; however, ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f) most recently and has possibilities in the retained headgear dropped in class.

0-7 since winning his first two races when with Alice Haynes; signs of a resurgence (after being gelded) when close up over C&D in June and can be excused the following effort on his first taste of Chester; could have a part to play in the new cheekpieces.

Not really bred for sprinting but made fairly encouraging debut when midfield in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (heavy) a fortnight ago and his experience is a big selling point here.

Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up.

Poor in his first two starts over 5f on a soft surface in April, but a complete contrast when landing an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm) last month; significant rain would be an issue, but makes plenty of appeal otherwise if conditions remain on the fast side; stable has a good record in this race.

Tailed off on debut at Leicester a fortnight ago but sent off just 9-4 and perhaps heavy ground didn't suit; he's the first foal of a Group-placed 1m 2yo winner and could be a different proposition here for his top yard.

Ten-race maiden; now 6lb lower than when placed over 5f on turf during the summer but his two AW runs at Chelmsford this autumn were very disappointing; today's headgear switch needs to give him a good boost.
