Won a Bath novices' event (1m2f, good) in May, beating some representatives from prominent stables; last next time when tried in Listed event and unable to kick on in two handicaps; drops 1lb; more needed.

Very in and out across his eight starts last year but won three times, including here (1m1f, good) in October; he could be involved if fully tuned up on this first outing since December.

J: Jack Mitchell

T: Kevin & Lauren Frost

His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove.

Caused 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January and rebounded from lesser effort when second over the straight 1m at Ascot (good to firm; winner followed up soon afterwards) last month; considered.

Sprang a 33-1 surprise on stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, and back to form when second at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; should be thereabouts.

Sixth foal; half-brother to four winners including Zahara (1m4f Norsk Oaks) and Zalacain (French 6.5f 2yo); dam won Norsk Oaks, half-sister to useful 1m2f-1m4f Flat/2m hurdle winner Zuider Zee and Swedish Derby winner Zenato; probably best watched first time out.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Kevin Philippart De Foy

Left his debut form behind when a close second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; 3-1 favourite) in July and 1m on slow ground seemed to stretch him at Ripon last time; looks interesting on his peak effort and he could resume his progress back at this trip.

Prominent racer; has shown promise in three runs over shorter, beaten under 4l when the cheekpieces went on at Kempton last month (7f); bred to stay and could have more to come.
