Form & Verdict
Respectable third behind two previous winners on debut at Windsor; entitled to improve and sure to go well at a course where trainer has a 50% strike-rate; suspicion is that this trip on quick ground might be on the sharp side but he's otherwise respected.

Comfortably his best run since wind surgery when fourth of 12 over 7f at Lingfield a fortnight ago; has handicapping scope if he can build on that.

Placed in all five runs in novice/maiden company and he took a step forward when winning a maiden handicap at Redcar two weeks ago (5f, good); this is a stronger race but he's unexposed at 5f and the Redcar win was backed up by the clock; one of two runners for Richard Fahey.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish; fully exposed after 11 starts but has shown enough, including over this trip on good at Doncaster last time, to suggest he has a race of this nature in him.

J: Robert Havlin

Well treated on the pick of his form, the latest when second of eight off 7lb higher at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) in January, but not matched that form since and is just 2-32.

9st 8lb

J: Alistair Rawlinson

T: Michael Appleby

None too consistent but both his wins have come over C&D and he does seem well suited by the track; on a good mark back from four months off and a big run would be no surprise, for all his propensity to miss the break is a nagging concern.
