Unplaced in four runs for Julie Camacho this year and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to earn him the vote.

Won on debut for Charlie Appleby last May and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark; however, he's struggled since that debut win, including in handicaps the last twice, and a major turnaround is needed.

Last of three at Newmarket (5f, soft) on debut appeared to be fair form, among the best in this line-up; however, he was well below that figure back at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days later; return to 5f may help.

Not the easiest of rides (sometimes slowly away and can pull hard) but he's smart on his day and he wasn't beaten far when sixth in the July Cup at Newmarket last summer; now having first run since and this is a significant drop in grade; stablemate of James's Delight and gives Clive Cox a strong hand.

Listed winner (5f/6f) for his previous yards and he's run respectably in two 5f handicaps for his new trainer this spring; needs to find some extra spark but he's edging down the weights and this step back up in trip looks a good move.

The only runner in the field with experience having finished down the field in the Brockleby five weeks ago (5f, heavy; sent off 0-2 joint second favourite); surprising if he weren't much better than that but there are several interesting newcomers in opposition.

Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver.

Losing run goes back nearly a year but he might have won over C&D last July but for being hampered and is on a handy mark now; a recent Tapeta run (hood left off, now refitted) suggests a good run is imminent.
