Left earlier efforts behind him when springing a 40-1 surprise over C&D 19 days ago; still has potential and a 2lb rise isn't excessive; more will be needed but cheekpieces could help.

Triple-figure prices and soundly beaten in three starts on turf and AW (1m and 7f) but has stamina on dam's side of pedigree and likely to be more effective now handicapping over further.

Form & Verdict
Has done his winning at 6f and 7f, twice on this course; stays 1m well enough but couldn't get going soon enough when a keeping-on third, after having to be switched, over C&D two weeks ago; should give it a good shot again.

T: Dean Ivory

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question.

Form & Verdict
Much improved for the step up from 6f/5f once going handicapping, winning both AW starts at about 1m2f, at Wolverhampton and Lingfield; floundered in the mud on turf since but remains of interest on AW and this strong traveller could well cope with his first attempt at 1m.

Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D.
