Form & Verdict
Had suggested his turn was near before narrowly getting off the mark at the 14th attempt in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) last month; more will be needed in this company, but he remains unexposed over this far on the Flat; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
All four wins have come on Tapeta including twice here (9.5f); goes beyond 1m4f for the first time but is just 1lb above his last winning mark and is a half-brother to a 2m winner; capable of making an impact if he stays.

Best form so far on Tapeta including all four wins, but has generally been disappointing since returning from eight months off in December and failed to beat a rival at Southwell (1m3f) last time; down in grade but enough to prove.

Only 1lb higher than for his 1m4f win here last March; low-key return to action (after 232 days off) at Lingfield four weeks ago but he took a good step forward with his reappearance behind him last winter and the same is quite possible here; each-way claims.
