Returned to form with a near miss at Southwell in April and he got back on the scoresheet at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) the following month; up another 3lb but he was as good as ever last time and should be in the thick of things again. |

Made quite encouraging seasonal debut last month (2m, good) but ran poorly over that trip three weeks later and also struggled on only previous attempt at 2m7f; sports first-time blinkers; risky. |

13yo who bounced back with a front-running win at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in March; back up 5lb in the weights but he forged clear from an odds-on rival last time and remains very well treated on his old form; could make another bold bid. |

Veteran; fair fourth at Sandown in November (2m, soft) but rather disappointing since (hung and jumped right-handed before being pulled up at Chepstow last time); return to this right-handed track should suit; a bit to prove. |

Benefited from very well-judged Joe Anderson ride when coming from off the pace to win by 10l on stable debut at Newbury (2m, good) in November and had excuse when below that form later that month (badly hampered by faller in early stages); needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high, though. |

Won 2m chase in June and ran creditably when a 4l fifth in the Northumberland Vase on final start for Adrian Keatley; only beat one home on yard debut at Haydock in July but he didn't have the race run to suit; handles soft and makes some appeal back hurdling off lower mark than over fences. |

Headstrong front-runner with inconsistent profile; won in good style at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) in March on his second chase start and reappeared with two solid places under Freddie Mitchell, the latest when upped from 2m4f to 3m at Newbury, but it may be hard to dominate this larger field. |

Reportedly has to go right-handed and both wins have come in novice events at Taunton (soft/good to soft), latterly at the expense of Aurigny Mill (by 5l); may need further progress to defy this mark on handicap debut and chasing is on the agenda according to the trainer's recent Stable Tour. |

Could do with settling better but he's still shown a consistent level of form in Britain and his defeats when penalised have come at top tracks; looks sure to be involved once more. |
