Both wins in 11.5f contests at Yarmouth; well beaten in two runs this spring; now wears a tongue-tie; not the percentage call.

Both wins have come at Yarmouth (11.5f), the most recent from 4lb higher in May last year; may not have liked the soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) last month, but still needs the return of the blinkers to have a positive effect.

Form & Verdict
A maiden after seven runs but yet to finish outside the first three in four handicaps (1m-1m4f); has edged up the weights in the process but still lightly raced and the hood could trigger something; lacks a run but respected.

Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level.

Form & Verdict
Wearing blinkers for the first time when off the mark at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January and was a creditable third of eight back there (1m6f) the following month; unplaced when faced with a tough test last time at Lingfield; 0-5 on turf but his career-best RPR came on good to soft ground; in with a shout.

Form & Verdict
Hamilton maiden winner in August (1m3f, soft); 0-3 in handicaps but made a solid reappearance at Beverley (1m4f, good to soft), for all that she was no match for the winner; vulnerable off this mark but likely to be on the scene.

Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her.

Polytrack/turf winner who has finished runner-up in her last three starts; up another 1lb, but the form of her latest head defeat at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) has worked out extremely well; yet to attempt this far, but shapes as though she will stay; major chance.

Half-brother to four winners, two of them useful; well beaten in three AW novices over 7f-1m2f last summer but only 9-2 for his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and never got the chance to do himself justice off a muddling pace; likely improver.
