Big improvement when winning a Nottingham novice (6f, good to firm) last June but he took backward steps in his final two runs last season; has been gelded and now goes handicapping but he has something to prove upped to 7f after four months off; cheekpieces added.

Two Tapeta wins in January, over 1m and 7f, and better form when a close fourth (off this mark) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (8.6f); the second and third there have both won since and he is a solid contender back down into a Class 6.

Promising debut when third of 11 at Goodwood (6f, good) in May, but has twice disappointed since as when fifth of eight here (5f, soft) last month; bred to stay on the dam's side, but he needs to bounce back on nursery debut and has a wide draw.

Holds solid claims on the form of her Thirsk 7f novice second in August but she was well below par when sixth (on good to soft ground) in a similar event at Chester last month; more is needed now going into handicaps.

J: Chloe Lyons

He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run.
