Form & Verdict
5-1, looked set for fourth of six 1f out in maiden at Hamilton (6f, soft) 16 days ago but rallied well to finish second; looks sure to improve, with this extra 1f a help, and that puts him into serious contention.

Can race freely and has done a lot of his racing over shorter, often in headgear, but proved this trip is within range on his Windsor comeback in May; below that level twice since though.

Now 8lb higher than when successful over C&D (good to soft) in October; not at his best at Newbury (1m, good) last time, but his previous narrow defeat on his Windsor reappearance (1m2f, good to firm) suggested this sort of mark was within reach; shortlisted.

1m AW winner for Tom Clover who has been mostly hurdling for this yard; went close in January and again in Cartmel seller on penultimate start; didn't shape with much promise in two turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in between but his Flat mark has come down quite sharply.

Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims.

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance.
